North Clare Family Business Under Threat Following Planning Decision

The survival of a North Clare business is under threat following a controversial planning decision. Clare County Council has refused permission for Patrick and Mary Nagle to continue operating the Cliffs of Moher Coastal Walk Car Park in Liscannor, which has been providing parking, toilets and changing facilities for tourists since 2012. The local authority has argued that as the Cliff Walk remains closed at Hag's Head, and along the entirety of the Southern Trail, the car park isn't required and would be a haphazard development. Mary believes the council's judgement is short-sighted.
