Scheduled Opening of Skellig Michael Deferred
Bouts of bad poor weather has hampered the progress of work on the site delaying the re-opening
The OPW has today confirmed that, owing to recent poor weather and sea conditions off the South West coast, the scheduled opening date for visitors to Skellig Michael has been deferred.
The original target date of 21st June had been set for the re-opening of Skellig Michael to visitors. This target date was dependent on favourable weather conditions allowing preparatory safety works to progress in a timely manner prior to opening.
Unfortunately, due to periods of poor weather conditions hampering the progress of work on site, the re-opening of Skellig Michael has now been postponed.
The island is now scheduled to open to visitors on Thursday, 1st July 2021.
To prepare for a trip to Skellig Michael, visitors are advised to watch the safety video on www.heritageireland.ie
