    Yes so a chance a farmer might have got fed up with this nonsense and cut it down.

    If that were the case the threat would probably have been removed altogether, not just left there.

    Well we may as well make the best of a bad situation.

    Would it still be possible to take cuttings from the tree and plant them in gardens and so on. Maybe even sell them to Americans or something.

    I really hope someone replants another tree there. I remember passing it so many times when i was young. Completely pointless and mindless act of vandalism.

    In fairness it's nice for us to get a plug, I wouldn't call it lazy journalism. Lazy would be just plugging our posts into the article without saying anything about us.

    Its also on the front page of the Waterford Today,although it doesn't quote boards directly it just says "members of online discussion forums have also vented their anger".

    :( This makes me sad and a little bit homesick, would love to go to Mahon falls now. At least the water is still going the wrong way....right...??

    I hate the way that one person has to ruin it for everyone else! :mad::mad:

    OK, you don't have to name names (thats what PMing is for :)) but can you give some details, eg local farmer, local teenager, anti-fairy racists, non-local scumbags??
