Note: There are many discussions about the state of the servicing of the visitor moorings around the Irish Coast. It is up to the visiting yachtsman to inspect the mooring and to ascertain if it is suitable for purpose. We, the editors of this site, prefer to use our own anchoring gear, which makes this easier for us. The links provided below are for your information. We cannot verify or confirm if it is indeed accurate or up to date.
