UPDATE SUMMER 2021
Written by Don Thomson 3 | 8th Sep 2021
I reviewed these notes in September 2021. I have been unable to contact anyone at Clogherhead so the harbour charges may well be out of date. A drone video of the harbour has been added.

Update 2015
Written by dononshytalk | 20th Apr 2015
These notes were reviewed by Don in April 2015. Nothing much has happened here but I've removed the note I had about a frozen fish factory as I think it may have turned out to be a sea salt company!
