Colin, would it help if you put a sunmission in representing MHCC Members ( 91 ) and from MCINI.
you have all our names and if someone does'nt want to be included they can say so.
because they certainly don't deserve to get over €2000.00 for not reading 100 or so submissions.?

I'm already signing a submission as Hon. Secretary of my local club. Perhaps another officer of MCINI and MHCC would do submissions on their behalf.

Colin, could you give us an idea of what your submission looks like so we are all singing off simular hymn sheet.
How is the money paid Cheque or draft.is there a specific format.
Maybe @JJF or @eirebus as noted officers of the club could do it on our behalf as the other pair are away on their Jollies.
As you representing your own club and Ally is away, and has given permission, an ordinary member can do it on behalf of MCINI.

If you follow [mail=https://kerry.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=33565bc13600476c8c4bae1eadb8c22d]This Link [/mail] it will take you to the Planning Application, open documents and see the submission from Glenbeigh Community Council.

Can this Aire be taken off the app please.

I attempted to find it on Friday and couldn't locate it. No signs. Absolute nightmare driver over the mountain in a narrow single track on a very steep incline with zero room for maneuver.

Found out later on that Kerry Co Co are treating it as an unauthorised development and issued an enforcement notice as per Radio Kerry so I'm presuming any direction signs have been removed,

I do not use the word "nightmare" lightly regarding the road over that mountain.

Sorry that you had difficulties. When I visited it I didn't encounter any real problem but I agree it is a bit tight although not any tighter than access to some of the Caravan & Motorhome Club. CL's I've used in GB.

Some drivers are more confident than others, why should we castigate someone for trying to give us a facility they we are constantly asking for?

Eamonn in all fairness is this type of comment fair towards someone who is trying to provide a service that we are constantly asking for?

My concern is for the safety and welfare for any motorhome owner who cannot find the facility because signs have been removed. The road past where the site could be located is probably the most demanding and precarious road I have ever driven in a motorhome. I met 2 cars coming towards me, luckily they found somewhere to pull in on the steepest section and then met a french motorhome luckily on a flatter section where much reversing was done to facilitate passing.

I am all for new facilities but if it cannot be found or has ceased trading it, in my opinion, should be removed until the position has been resolved.

I am not a woosey driver. I have driven HGV's extensively and have undergone extensive and lenghty driver training so I consider myself to be a very confident driver.

Typical of this forum. I wonder why I left it the last time.

Best of luck lads

Eamon, I am sure no one is doubting the difficulty you experienced or your driving credentials. I take it you took the high road instead of the low road? If there is no sign where the road forks, there ought to be, so people should be made aware.

My mother took the high road once when we were kids in the back. We were never so quiet as we were in that moment!

Eamonn, I suspect you went to the location over what's locally called Mountain Stage. That's one horrid road to drive. If you went from Rossbeigh beach carpark, the narrow section is only a few hundred yards long on a dead straight piece with two pull-ins.

I don't know how well you know the area but if you did, you would know not to take Mountain Stage but to go from Rossbeigh. If coming from Cahersiveen side, Google Maps and most car sat navs would take you over Mountain Stage. Camper sat navs dont take you over Mountain Stage (I tried it with Garmin and Pioneer camper satnavs).

Never blindly trust Google maps and car sat navs for directions. For example, going from Sneem to Fossa (outside Killarney), Google maps would bring you over the Gap of Dunloe!

I would add that we all only found out the plannjng issue on the 14th Saturday.
Your second post does if fact warn other motorhomers of the problems of getting to the site accross the mountain.
But your first one in all fairness does not. it reads more like a rant, and how many of us would not be Pissed off, after having a lously time trying to get somewhere only to find it closed.
By in fact Councill Bullying.

🤦

"I don't like what you wrote" so it's the forums fault because people are disagreeing with you. I know why you left the first time, the same hissy fit you are taking now.

The app gives you a location, the driver decides the route, go figure......

The date for submissions has passed.
Looks like decision is due 13/09.
There were few submissions in support and no objections which I was surprised by.
Either the vested interests are sure that he won't get approval, or maybe they will appeal the decision if he does.
Have to wait and see.

Perhaps the vested interests have learned not to put their head above the parapet and are confining their efforts to stirring it in the background.
After all, any public efforts get soundly torpedoed.

It will be a corner turned ,if that is the case.
I have limited knowledge of planning, but the dog in the street, knows the councils take a dim view of retention as opposed to permission.
I'll be delighted if it gets planning,because , I think more community groups and individuals will look at providing locations.
Fingers crossed
