They are online (URL below), but no sign of the article in question. I'm trying to get friends to get me a copy so I can have a look at the article.

In some ways this whole episode shows how far we've come. I have pictures at home of myself when I was a wee sprog standing on the pier in Kinsale and Courtmac with literally dozens of dead shark on the ground beside me. There hasn't been a shark landed in either of these places (I believe) in more than 10 years.
There will always be d**kheads but if there so marginalised as this it is safe to say that very significant progress is being made.

blaker your write and time changes, and things happen,
i used to walk down the street with my little mad jack russell, ferrets and all with 5 young rabbits hanging from my belt, sometimes 2 big rabbits over my shoulder, i dont think i would get away with that today
