Public engagement sessions held ahead of the new tourist season reinforced the importance of incorporating community needs into the service. Where possible, the service has been adapted in response to community input and is designed to support and serve tourism development in a balanced and sustainable way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Minister of State for Nature, Heritage and Biodiversity, Christopher O\u2019Sullivan TD <\/strong>commented, \u201cI would like to congratulate the NPWS and Clare County Council on the success of the Burren and Cliff of Moher Explorer bus service in 2025, and I am delighted to support this collaboration again in 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe service has provided tangible benefits in terms of the environment and biodiversity, and at the same time provided a transport alternative for visitors and local communities accessing the Burren and the Cliffs of Moher. It is heartening to see two public bodies work closely together to promote and develop a more sustainable model for managing tourism in this unique and sensitive landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Welcoming the continued partnership with the Council,<strong> Midwest Divisional Manager with the NPWS<\/strong>, <strong>William Cormacan <\/strong>said, \u201cThe service has provided greater accessibility to the Burren National Park. This is one of several initiatives we work closely with Clare County Council to promote a more sustainable model for developing and managing tourism, and for protecting natural heritage in the Burren and wider county. We hope that visitors and the local communities in North Clare avail of this great service, which has multiple benefits, including environmental benefit, which support the protection of natural heritage in North Clare\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Full details on routes, timetables, and itineraries are available at: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cliffsofmoher.ie\/burren-and-cliffs-of-moher-explorer\">www.cliffsofmoher.ie\/burren-and-cliffs-of-moher-explorer<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Burren &amp; Cliffs Explorer shuttle bus service is returning for the 2026 season with an expanded offering, connecting towns, villages and key visitor attractions across North and West Clare.
