Looks like they’re opening the local airfield (built to provide an island service that fell through.)

(The island airfield, Inisbofin, is painted and serviceable, but, “closed”. I’ve heard stories though...)

What I will say is that if you’re considering flying in, be aware of the topology of the area. Joyce Country is to the East, an extensively mountainous area with peaks up to 800m ASL and over. Approaches are estimated to be 04 and 22. Tully Mountain lies under the 22 approach, roughly 3.5NM distant, at a height of 356 meters ASL. (Airfield roughly 50-70m ASL). Also smaller hill 172m ASL, roughly 2NM distant.
04 approach is down the slope of the hill, height 115m ASL at 1NM distant. Over water before that.
