The National Trust have to realise that they cannot treat family businesses this way. They have put me off visiting the Giants Causeway with their ridiculous pricing policy

Has it taken them 70yrs to think about a toilet? Find somewhere else, its a big enough place!

Shame on the National Trust, need for toilet block does not outweigh need for local business to be ousted, smacks of monopolisation of services at this major natural attraction. Find another spot for the loos you big bullies!

The National Trust is getting more like a big greedy ruthless business than a charity. The charges at the Causeway are extortionate and underhand.

Disgrace if the national trust go ahead with this. That wee shop is as famous as the hotel.

My grandmother was born in Northern Ireland. I was privileged to visit the Giant's Causeway in 2009. Please find someplace else to put the toilets.

Building a toilet is not worth someone's business they have had since 1912!!!!

McConaghies shop was there long before the National trust. I cant stand the way local people are being treated nowadays.

The National Trust is supposed to be a charity. What is charitable about this cynical attempt to destroy a little piece of competition, and years of history too? National Trust are making millions out of this site already. Leave McConaghy's alone

Ridiculous - extend the man's lease on this wee bit of Causeway heritage.

There's no need for this shameless Giant-sized Greed. I fully support the long-established local independent trader and deplore this attempt by the National Trust to strong arm them out of business with Giant-sized Greed by a Giant-sized corporation that really should know better. The tactics used at the Giant's Causeway to get visitors to pay into a 'Visitors Centre' (when the real attraction are the actual stones) are sneaky and underhand. Well below the standard befitting a national organisation. "How can we help each another?" is a good business strategy. Anything less is just people taking advantage of other people. We're ALL connected. One planet. One love!
