OK. HERE IT IS!
Where are the motorhome association?
I am talking about the people who claimed to be representing the motorhomers of Ireland.
If they were truly representing all of us I would have expected them to at least made contact in relation to Howth.
Long term members on here will be aware that I have never been a fan of the MA for a few reasons including their secretive nature, lack of transparency and inability to advise correctly.
I firmly believe that Ally is correct, we do need a representative group. A group elected from a broad spectrum of the motoring public not self appointed. This forum is the broadest group of irish motorhomers I am aware of (please correct me if I am wrong) so perhaps we should now be thinking of representing ourselves.
If places like Howth are closing their doors to us how long will it be before the next town does the same? Motorhome owners have ruined Howth for motorhomers, perhaps due to ignorance, perhaps not. This is undoing the good work being done by people like Colin (Baguette) in his area. I understand that many many motorhomers never go onto forums such as this but the rest of us should be informing them of how their actions are creating problems for the majority. It is difficult to approach someone when you see a problem if you are unsure of the correct way yourself but if there was an authorised set of guidelines issued by an official governing body they could be quoted.
This is a prime opportunity for the MA to come out from wherever they have been hiding and make a statement about their work and how they need support to prevent more places like Howth being closed to motorhomes. Perhaps they would get more support than ever before.
If they don't is it time to sort ourselves out?
