Subject: BS: Loop Head Lighthouse From: GUEST,Jim Martin Date: 18 Jul 11 - 06:17 AM Very pleasing to see this open to the public from today. W.Clare needs more of this kind of initiative to stem the fall in tourism: http://clare.fm/news/loophead-lighthouse-opens-public |

Subject: RE: BS: Loop Head Lighthouse From: GUEST,Peter Laban Date: 18 Jul 11 - 10:44 AM To be honest I don't think opening a lighthouse, that lighthouse, will do anything to the numbers of tourists in the area. I strongly suspect this was done to give the lighthousekeeper of Kilcredaun lighthouse, which was taken out of service not long ago, a job (and fair play to them for doing so). One of the lightkeeper's cottages has been on the books of the Irish Landmark Trust for some years as a holiday home for a good while. And quite lovely it is too. It's a nice lighthouse, I was in it five or six or so years ago, but I'd hardly think it would attract extra visitors to Clare, that's just politician's waffle. |
