Cliffs of Moher walkway opens despite legal row

A spectacular €400,000 walkway taking in the Cliffs of Moher has been officially opened — in spite of Clare County Council being unable to complete the walkway due to a land row between two farmers.

At a ceremony in Liscannor yesterday, mayor of Clare, Cllr Pat Daly (FF) officially opened the new 12km Cliffs of Moher Coastal Walk, which links Doolin to the entire Cliffs of Moher stretching to Hag’s Head.

Mr Daly said: “This is a major tourism project not only for north Clare but for the growing walking tourism market in Ireland. We believe that it is one of the most spectacular coastal routes in the country and will attract the type of visitors who will stay longer in the area.”
