Glamping pods for Killaloe

Tourism in the Ballina-Killaloe district received a welcome boost last week with the announcement that planning permission has been granted for six glamping pods and ancillary site works on a two-hectare site, located at Lackenbawn, Killaloe.

The conditions set out include mitigating any environmental impact to the area, the use of correct signage, sufficient wastewater treatment and a €6,354 contribution to Clare County Council to contribute towards the cost of public infrastructure.

It's not known when the glamping site will welcome its first visitors.
