 The Examiner - News From Ireland - 06, July, 1999
THE LATEST and possibly final twist in the long running Mullaghmore saga is to commence today as a Bord Pleanála oral hearing into plans to develop visitor facilities at the Burren National Park in Co. Clare gets underway.
The hearing takes place eight years after Government plans were first announced to develop an interpretative centre at the Mullaghmore site, triggering a sometimes bitter conflict that divided north Clare for much of the nineties.
However, a month later legal proceedings were taken by the then recently formed BAG against the developers, the Office of Public Works (OPW), claiming that the OPW should not be exempt from having to seek planning permission for their developments.

The various statutes defining the authority of the OPW largely dated to the last century, were outdated and incomplete and did not give the OPW a statutory power to construct a Visitor Centre or many of the other buildings that had been built by the OPW in the past (including jails, courthouses, etc.).
