THE MORNING LEAD
Clare tourism tensions continue with locals 'lobbying' against council's latest moves
There has been a growing divergence at Clare County Council’s plans to monetise different parts of the county’s offerings.
The latest flashpoint is the introduction of charges at award-winning Vandeleur Gardens
This will result in the attraction losing its Green Flag Award this spring
The council has also been accused of blatantly 'ripping off' tourists at the Cliffs of Moher
