Public ‘in the dark’ over plans for Skellig Michael

Environmental groups and the public are being left in the dark over the Government’s plans to manage Skellig Michael, according to Ireland’s largest environmental coalition.

The Environmental Pillar has made the claim in the wake of last month’s launch by the Government of a public consultation process on a management plan for the island. The management plan is required by Unesco and the consultation process is intended to guide and inform the content of the management plan.
