Disappointment as just 130 residents avail of cut-price deal to access Cliffs

ONLY 130 people have, so far, availed of a cut-price deal for Clare residents to have unlimited access to the Cliffs of Moher.

In advance of a new €6 charge last August for adults to see the 600ft-high attraction, the Cliffs of Moher Visitor Centre announced details of a local pass to give Clare people an unlimited number of visits to the Cliffs and the exhibition centre for €12 until the end of this year.

With 82,385 adult residents in Clare, the scheme had the potential to create a windfall of between €500,000 and €1 million for the centre if there was a significant take-up.
