The aim of this project was the assessment of options given by the OPW (under a partnership agreement with the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (DHLGH) and Fáilte Ireland) to determinate their best approach for the enhancement of the Clonmacnoise Monastic Site visitor experience. This study set out to examine the social, environmental and economic costs and benefits, aiming to recommend an optimum option for enhancing the facilities at Clonmacnoise, while taking into consideration the requirements of sustainable tourism and bearing in mind the international significance and sensitivity of the archaeological remains.
