Skellig Michael opening delayed again with tour guides unavailable

Boat operators had expected to be offering trips to Skellig Michael at the weekend.

The Office of Public Works (OPW) has come under fire after the start of the already-delayed visitor season to Skellig Michael had to be postponed once again as there were no tour guides in place on the island.

The UNESCO world heritage site has been closed to tourists since May 10 due to a legal dispute over landing permits.
