Irish Aviation Authority has confirmed a Temporary Restricted Area (TRA) around Loop Head on May 17th and 18th,
There will be filming on those days for Star Wars Ep VIII. The use of drone is also not permitted. No drone operating privately or under Aerial Works Permission may operate within the TRA without written permission from the Flight Operations Authority and Event Organisers.
Clare County Council is closing Loop Head Lighthouse, and one of two discovery points along the route of the Wild Atlantic Way, for practical, safety and operational reasons due to anticipated increased traffic activity because of the filming.
