I would not use this palce if it was the last place to park in Ireland. The greedy owner of this site is responsible for the closing of the parking above the harbour.

Yes, I was surprised the ICCC held a rally there, one other Motorhome club pulled a meet there already after hearing the carry on. I must say I am with chalkey on this one, I never set foot in Dunmore east, not to mind that Campsite since.

I AGREE with chalkey and chausson we all know down in these parts that this greedy owner is responsible .The campsite is up a narrow road try getting down to village for food or a drink it is a joke shame because Dunmore east is beautiful the shopkeepers have pity for us definightly don't plan your stay at this campsite

I have stayed in this site (before, or too late to cancel after, the ban came into place). There is a back entrance to the site which was no problem getting in or out of in our 6 berth coach built, and we had no problem walking down to the beach or shops with our then 4 and 5 year old.

The site itself was a good layout, but the facilities were a bit small I thought for the size, so this isn't necessarily a recommendation. It's just that there's enough reason not to go on the basis of them arguing (and getting) the ban rather than other reasons that are subjective.

Also, in these cases, I always wonder about the poor shopkeepers and publicans that are missing out - they obviously aren't arguing that hard to keep the access to motorhomes. They keep getting out shouted anyway!

Cheers Baguette, always knew there was so much more to this story. The locals came out in favour, but had no say.

Planning Application: 11417 (Waterford City and County Council ) was granted 14/08/2012 and was for a Motorhome park development.
So, permitting caravans, tents or mobile homes to be placed there could be constrewed as contrary to the Grant of permission.
Motorhomes are after all a specific category of motor vehicle, not to be confused with trailer caravans, tents or mobile homes.

I guess he don't have 41 motorhomes to fill those spaces because of the way he treated Motorhomers that used to visit Shanoon. Now pressure should be put on not to let him change the planning to use of these spaces for other purposes. Was there not a sign up somewhere saying he had parking for 100 Motorhomes?

I have no intentions of using his facilities. Local businesses are the losers.

Is this the site up past the car park overlooking the beach or is it the one beside the fire station/chipper?
Thanks.

The Region
The Sunny South East of Ireland

The South East which consists of the five counties of Carlow, Kilkenny, Tipperary, Waterford and Wexford. Fondly referred to by the 'Irish' as the 'Sunny South East', the region is famous for its vibrant towns, rural getaways and coastal villages and resorts.

The Sunny South East was a phrase thought up by a group of Wexford business people, including the late Billy Kelly of Kelly's Hotel Rosslare, to try and encourage tourists to the area. According to Met Eireann , and they should know, on average Carnsore Point (the South East point of Ireland, in Wexford) has more hours of sunshine per year than any other part of Ireland. :hots: :hots: When Waterford, Carlow, Kilkenny and Tipperary were thrown in with Wexford to form the South East Tourism Region they all used our slogan. Now this may be flattering but isn't it about time you all came up with one of your own? You could use Up the Déise as that cannibalistic tribe settled on the borders of what is now Waterford, Tipp and Kilkenny after being driven up from southern regions, (Probably for stealing slogans) in the 4th or 5th centuary AD. You may still use the term Sunny South East, but only when referring to Wexford. :hots: :hots: :P :P
