The Skellig Coast Tourism Network is organizing a protest due to the indefinite suspension of landing access to Skellig Michael, which has financially impacted over 120 local businesses. With a legal case regarding permits pending clarity until June 3, there is widespread concern and anger from tourism operators. Chairperson James Murphy of SCTN emphasizes the emotional and economic toll of the closure, urging the OPW for direct engagement and a clear timeline for permit resolutions. The SCTN seeks temporary landing permits for partial reopening during legal proceedings.
This delay is devastating - not just financially, but emotionally. This is the time of year we should be welcoming visitors from around the world. Instead, we're losing them.
The silence is not just damaging - it's a failure of basic communication.
