In the short term, OPW intends to carry out a small civil engineering project at the Clonmacnoise carpark to improve the layout and efficiency of the existing car parking facilities and to provide better signage. A contract for an archaeological investigation, which is a necessary precursor to the work, has recently been placed and will commence on site shortly.
Any proposal to provide additional carparking at Clonmacnoise will involve a full assessment of the need for such additionality, taking into account changes in management of volumes at the site including the introduction of online booking, more efficient streaming of buses, etc.
