Glamping pods to make a splash in Co Clare

While it’s not quite the high seas, glampers will be on the crest of a wave following this week’s decision by Clare County Council to grant planning permission for the instillation of two, space-age floating “pods” at the Kilrush Marina in Co Clare.

This is the first time planning permission has been granted for the construction of these wooden pods on the Atlantic Ocean here.

The Kilrush pods will be installed on a floating pontoon in the Kilrush Marina and are expected to be occupied by holiday makers during the summer tourist season.
