Local blogger encourages St Mullins to start welcoming camping tourists

St Mullins needs to “get with the programme and welcome people”.

That’s the advice from blogger John Whelan, who’s written about the Carlow hotspot on his page ‘Camper Heaven’ on www.vanhalla.ie

John’s piece has gained a lot of traction, as debate continues over the increasing number of campervans in the area- with an ancient wall there defaced recently with a painted sign warning the visitors away.

The sign has since been removed, but John says more needs to be done to embrace St Mullins’ camping community; It’s safe and healthy and we’re being encouraged to get out and about. I feel St Mullins needs to get with the programme and start welcoming people as it will be a welcome boost for their economy.”
