    Well, I'd like to see what my 6 euro gets me before I go all spastic about it.

    If it's a rip-off then I'll go full on spastic over it.

    The visitor centre should be let fail. Visitor centres beside natural attractions just look horrible anyway.

    You should go see Loop Head. It's free and better looking, no ugly concrete or tacky music-selling machines.

    They wouldn't have lost that money, had they not built the monstrosity of a visitors' centre in the first place. Was it built on a CE scheme?
    No AFAIK it was to provide money to local builders / supporters of FF

    There was a fuss when they started charging people to visit Clonmacnoise. People who were visiting the graves of family members.

    You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.

    8 Euro isn't gonna break the bank now is it?

    8 euro for parking here would get you about 2 days, oh and btw you don't have to pay for parking at the giants causeway or to view it which is quite stupid!

    That might change. There is some hotl company that is offering to build a new visitor centre if they can build a hotel beside it.

    Indeed, largest sea cliffs in Europe and they're still free.

    There is a spoiler though:
    they're in Donegal

    correct me if im wrong but from being there years ago, you can easily walk to the cliffs from a different direction, therefore avoiding the visitor centre/car park ****e. It covers a huge area, its not like they have gates up to stop you getting near them.

    Dead right. Visited there a couple of months ago. Absolutely stunning and kicks Moher's ass.

    It would appear you are correct sir, it seems my father lied to me all those years ago.

    Edit:
    perhaps he was merely misinformed

    Contrary to popular belief, the cliffs at Slieve League in County Donegal are not Ireland's, or Europe's highest as they stand at 595 metres (Ordnance Survey of Ireland, 2007).

    At the end of the day, people are paying to look at wet rocks.

    Sure I can do that when I have a bath.

    I was about to say this is old news, I thought it was referring to the car park charge again, but this is fúcking ridiculous.

    it's the same kind of people who will soon advocate charging people to walk on the beach.
