Further month for submissions on Skellig plan

THE Department of the Environment has announced a month-long extension to allow for further public submissions on the management of Skellig Michael over the next decade.

The department recently published the draft plan to manage the conservation of this unique island from 2007 to 2017.

Lying 15km off the Iveragh peninsula in south Co Kerry, Skellig Michael has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
