Cost of visiting Cliffs of Moher rises by 50%

INTERNAL documents show visitors to one of the country’s most popular tourist attractions, the Cliffs of Moher, are now paying on average 50% more than what they were paying last year to gain admission to the landmark site.

Last August, Clare County Council subsidiary, the Cliffs of Moher Centre, sparked controversy when it introduced a new €6 charge for adults to see the 600 ft high Cliffs.

Prior to the introduction of the new charge, independent travellers were being charged €8 per car at the Cliffs car park and those opting to view the Cliffs of Moher exhibition paid an additional €4.95.
