Silting in Kinsale Harbour is causing “growing frustration” among yacht club and harbour users, a local councillor has said.
Echo Live reports on comments at a recent meeting of Cork County Council by the Social Democrats’ Ann Bambury, who said “progress has stalled” in engagement between Kinsale Yacht Club and the local authority.
Bambury added that if the issue is not dealt with, silting “will deter visiting sailors and impose growing tidal limitations on the yacht club’s full racing and training programme, including junior sailing and sailability”.
Issues with silting in the West Cork town’s harbour were first raised a number of years ago, with David Forsythe writing on Afloat.ie in 2022 that the harbour will become “unusable” if the situation is not adddressed.
