Description

The Commissioners of Public Works (OPW) are responsible for the operation and maintenance of the Skellig Michael National Monument, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a Special Protection Area (SPA). As part of their remit, the OPW are in charge of managing access to the Island and for determining a sustainable level of visitor traffic to what has been recognised is a unique and fragile site. The only regular access to the Island is by boat and the OPW have therefore created a system of Permits, renewable annually, to determine which Boat Operators may travel to the Island and land passengers there. Currently, fifteen (15) Operators are in receipt of Permits. The OPW now proposes to hold a competition for all fifteen (15) existing Permits, to be awarded to Operators prior to the start of the 2024 Season and to be renewed annually following satisfactory performance prior to the 2025, 2026, 2027, and 2028 seasons . Please ensure that you express an interest in this RFT in order to receive all related correspondence
