That is apart from the commonage in the foothills of Mangerton and other areas coming close to the park. This destruction was particularly severe in the Ladies' View and Derrycunnihy area.

Paul Coghlan: It is most disappointing to see who is driving the number of civil bills in our courts seeking house repossessions. In counties Cork, Limerick, Donegal and my own of Kerry, Bank of Ireland accounts for 6% whereas the State-owned banks - AIB and PTSB - account for approximately 60%.
