@George Dillion or their 10 euro car park in the middle of no-where ;0 We used to picnic on the ledges... it was lovely... and if it happened to fall into the sea at that moment.. well... we spend too much time protecting people...

After what happened to the earth's original land mass "Pangea" it is not surprising that the sea is still nibbling away. Is it the end for beginning of the end for Ireland? - "No" - says yer man " Sure'tis just the thin end of the ledge".

Nature has to take its course. Backa few years ago in New Hampshire "The Old Man of the Mountain' formation collapsed, it was a major tourist attraction in the State, The authorities researched into having it "repaired". However the cost was prohibitive so they just had to leave it be. Man cannot fight and expect to beat nature.

Too bad the local idiots didn't build their dopey "interpretation center" on that ledge.

irishcentral - Why don't you replace the photo of the idiots with a photo of the rockfall or current view of the cliffs?

Ms.Gail - The Irish Independent newspaper published this story today, Sunday. The report included a photo of the dust cloud captured on camera a few weeks back when a diffrent piece of the cliff's rock face fell into the sea. Google irishindependent.ie, look for the report and see the photo for yrself.

I was awe-struck when I viewed the Cliffs on a 1982 visit to Ireland - but I was also terrified of falling even when standing hundreds of feet back from the safety line!!! Some people will do anything for a thrill.
