Roughan & O’Donovan Dursey Island Cable Car and Visitor Centre Consulting Engineers Environmental Impact Assessment Report Chapter 6 Population and Human Health 6.1 Introduction This chapter addresses the potential population and human health impacts related to the construction and operation of the proposed Dursey Island Cable Car and Visitor Centre development, referred to hereafter as the ‘proposed development’. The proposed development involves the replacement of the existing Dursey Island Cable Car, the construction of associated structures (including the visitor centre, café, welfare facilities, and cableway line stations) and completion of road improvement works on the R572 – the principal approach road to the site. For a detailed description of the proposed development, refer to Chapter 4 of this Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR). Actual and perceived effects of the proposed development on population and human health may arise from various aspects of the proposed development. These effects are dealt with throughout this EIAR.

N W E S Iveragh Peninsula Kenmare Foreword by Neil Jordan Inchiquin Drombohily The tourist buses tend to turn right at Glengarriff and head on towards Kilmackillogue Garanes Kenmare. So the Beara Peninsula is often left unvisited, except by cyclists, hikers, druids, painters, poets, Dutch and German sean-nos singers, Glengarriff Tibetan Buddhists, reiki healers, shamans and the locals themselves. Beara Peninsula Poleen Wood There are none of these evident in Norman McCloskey’s photographs. Ardgroom Rabhach’s Glen Glanmore Lake No people at all, in fact. There is one single sheep. Maybe the odd wandering farmer, shaman or reiki healer would have spoiled the breath- Derryclancy taking compositions and the stark natural beauty he finds there. Or Eyeries Glenbeg Lake maybe it’s better to allow the landscape speak for itself. It tends to grow Adrigole wilder the further south one travels, and I do notice the arrangement of his photographs seems to do the reverse. It begins in the Atlantic soaked Caherkeen Allihies, and moves backwards, towards the quiet forests around Poleen Wood. Reentrusk It is a very particular, almost Nordic landscape. Stark black fissures of rock Allihies erupt out of fields of brown and maroon heather. Small outcrops of an island Bere Island and ageing hulls of boats emerge out of the mists. Waterfalls trickle or Sheeps Head cascade from the mountainous cliffs, depending on the rains. And there Peninsula are a lot of them. Cahermore Dursey Island Rain, of course, rarely makes for a good picture. It, as well as the landscape, is an enduring feature of the Beara Peninsula. -
