Museum’s benefits ‘outweigh visual impact’

THE promoters of Ireland’s planned largest road and rail museum in west Clare have stated that the very small level of visual disruption to the scenic area would be tiny compared to the project’s great benefits.

That’s according to consultants employed by West Clare Railway to advance its plan for the Moyasta museum.

The museum is to form part of the restored West Clare Railway attraction where visitors have trebled since the return of the 117-year old Slieve Callan steam engine last August.
