I’ve always had issues with whaling of any sort; NORWAY, JAPAN, ICELAND say they are doing it for scientific reasons, I say that’s bullshit! It’s a way around the Whaling ban!!
And everyone knows it! Anyway I recently read on the BBC news website that there was suppose to be an agreement supporting the statement that Whaling does not decreases fish stock…

Quote from BBC news site

“Japanese scientists have regularly argued that whales may be competing with humans for fish”

You know what the whales were here before us, and I think they have more of a right to eat fish than we do! And in any case it is because of us Humans that the fish are being over fished! So if anything we should stop fishing and leave the Whales alone.

NORWAY, JAPAN, ICELAND are until they stop whaling off my list of place to visit!

Trying to pick a day when there are good waves, is a bit of a hit and miss affair. Thankfully there are some good websites to check and see what the local weather is like at the nearest surfing spot, which for me happens to be tramore, waterford.

Some site are:

But I think for the best advice, it’s better to make friends with the local surf shop guru, ring ahead and ask the whats the story with surfing that day!

An organisation called Future Proof Kilkenny is holding a number of events from September to December.

It would be worth it for everyone of all ages to check out the events.There are kids and adult events,

from workshops to showing films on green and environmental issues.
