Senator Pat Casey is calling for the consultancy period into the Visitor Experience and Management Masterplan for Glendalough and the Wicklow Mountains National Park to be stalled because it currently isn't fit for purpose.
Public consultation runs until March 12 and is mostly being facilitated through the Wicklow.ie Council Consultation website, with a series of Zoom virtual drop-in sessions with the consultant team.
Senator Casey operates the Glendalough Hotel and has been contacted by over 50 members of the local community who were dissatisfied with how the drop-in sessions worked.
He feels the consultancy period should be halted until public meetings can take place again to ensure the local community has as much input into the plans as possible.
