    @Martin Sinnott: instead of just asking the locals they’ll pay some lad or lassie with a title who’ll charge a couple of K per hour to ask the locals and present the reply’s in a fancy hotel on a fancy slide with fancy documents.

    @Martin Sinnott: Yep I’d worry about this too. And they don’t have a good record with the national parks in this country either imho. Not one of them is in good health! Wicklow Mountains & Glens have huge potential for land regeneration and rewilding, and it’s mostly not happening. Re Glendalough and traffic.. perhaps a one way system although knowing the area I’m not sure how this would work? They need to keep what makes the place so special for many of us and be very sensitive to the nature there but also retain the small village feel to nearby Laragh and surrounds. There have been a number of builds that should not have been given PP in recent times and they have damaged the look of the place. also more street lighting was put in effecting the dark skies. Some people just don’t get it, their desensitised and don’t know any better.

    Then get go ahead, half finished , out of Money.

    @Tinky Freeman: the parking issues on the weekends up are appalling. People just dump their cars on road leading to traffic jams. A cable car from the square up is the way forward… Or maybe people should park responsibility

    I’ll only invoice €150,000 for solving this pressing issue with the use of bollards.

    If they stopped taking money from people to park cars in the car park it would stop people just abandoning their cars anywhere to avoid paying. I have witnessed this may times

    The solution is Easy peasy, just operate a one way circular system and time based entry. Car parks ate a separate issue.

    No need for 500k. Prebooked parking and hard enforcement of badly parked cars is all hats needed. No need for one way systems, all of these parks will benefit from less cars and people overall.

    They could open a second destination though to get people higher up and I suggest Turlough hill. It has lots of hard standing already, is already an industrial site.. Provide a walkway,.

    Simple build carpark at Glendalough mines site further on from the upper lake carpark. Therefore, 3 carpark’s which should spread the footfall of visitor’s to different area’s of the lakes.

    Love going hiking up there but the facilities are atrocious. The toilets are from the 60s and stink, are filthy, hand dryers not working. Just god damn awful. I’d rather piss in a forest than in those toilets

    No car parks. Public bus transport only? Having never been there I’m not sure if this would work

    Not the type of place it would be easy to spread visitors over periods of time. It’s a great place for a hike or just bringing the family up for a relaxing say where kids have a bit of space to run around. Park & ride might work but you would still need a big carpark in the vicinity.
