Clare County Council is seeking to rejuvenate the visitor facilities at the Cliffs of Moher which it says are “rather overwhelmed” by the numbers arriving at peak times. It said the visitor centre - made up of retail, café/restaurant and interpretative facilities - “is a victim of its own success”. “The existing systems are now sub- standard and make increasingly difficult the delivery of a world class visitor experience,” a tender document states. In the document, the council says visitors to the current centre “are put off by queues at all service points, toilets and restaurant. “At times visitors may not be able to gain entry to the visitor centre due to the crowds.”The council is seeking consultants to prepare a masterplan for the visitor centre.
