The Burren Lowlands CLG
The Burren Lowlands CLG is bringing the Lowland West of Ireland to the world, with a vision to make the region a better place to live, work and visit by focussing on three key pillars: tourism community, enterprise.
The Burren Lowlands has become a focal point for remote working and tourism as the group works to reduce the isolation of rural life. The communities in the Burren Lowlands have been a shining light in exemplifying what is possible when local people come together to promote and develop their own area.
