Consultation and Kilkee pier access

<p>Say no to losing your right of way to the pier.<br />As you may be aware the Clare County Council have begun work on a new access road in the area of the pier, if this access road is complete they also intend to place bollards across the carpark, segregating &nbsp;the public and restricting their "right of way " to the pier. There was no consultation with &nbsp;the fishermen of Kilkee , Kilkee Boat House Trustee's, Kilkee Sub Aqua Club, Kayak Club, Currach Club or Kilkee Dive Centre .&nbsp;<br />This new proposed development will drive a wedge between the community<br />The Council claim this is just one part of an overall development plan but as of now they still have not produced &nbsp;anything to confirm this is the fact .<br />Kilkee boat house is a listed building and needs to be protect from any developments that may have a detrimental effect to the property .&nbsp;<br />Under current legislation an absolute Duty of Care is placed upon the owners and occupiers of Protected Structures to ensure that they (the buildings) are not endangered by either: undertaking inappropriate works; direct demolition; or through neglecting the building.&nbsp;<br />Surely if the owners are obliged to protect the Kilkee Boat House, the Clare County Council should also be obliged not to put the Boat House in danger.<br />This is a reoccurrence of the horrendous job that was done on the &lsquo;Picturesque&rsquo; Cliff Walk when funds were made available and needed to be spent in a hurry.<br />The removal of the dive boards, barriers blocking the Pollack Holes and the Pier <br />Gates blocking Georges Head in the form of a barrier causing Tourists to turn on their heels a leave Kilkee without seeing all it has to offer. <br />Is the plan to put barriers on the main approach roads to Kilkee the next time there is money available and keep tourists out altogether?</p>
