The Curragh Plain, Kildare: yet another vast, sheep-trashed Irish landscape that would naturally be rich, diverse forest.

The Curragh in Co Kildare is ecologically trashed due to sheep grazing.
I understand politicians need to feel their county has something to offer but surely the National Park label needs to carry some shred of integrity?

The Curragh.' (1914) This painting by Irish artist Paul Henry is full of drama, accentuated by the use of a high horizon and tall waves as if to remind us of the danger facing the crew of this small boat. It brings home the harsh life of the islanders on Achill off County Mayo.

The plot thickens. Tim Severin reports that his 1970s reconstruction of St Brendan's curragh wasn't able to sail windward at all.
I was under the impression that early medieval European ships *couldn't* tack into the wind but this article I'm reading seems to indicate that they could to a limited extent?
