National Trust should be ashamed of themselves, trying to close this shop down and replace it for toilets, and of course they will charge to use them.

The National Trust should be ashamed of themselves, they should promote the historical like that this family have with the Giants Causeway... instead of trying to wipe history off the map...

Toilets can be built anywhere! People will find them this way or another!

The little man in the little shop has been moved and squeezed and must not be bulldozed out of existence!

This souvenir shop is as much part of the causeway as the stones are...

National trust a disgrace

Please don't this would be such a loss. The national Trust would be best to look after the hotel more. It hasn't worn well. Great ice cream in this shop especially useful when you can't access the visitors centre

I lived nearby and worked for the National Trust at the Causeway in the 8O's The visitors loved the quaint wee shops, the generations of historical local trading on the site and the idiosyncrasies of McClellands, Glass's and McConaghys. The former two are long gone. This local family business and tradition deserves to be saved.

Have used this souvenir shop a few times over the years, better than the one supplied by National Trust

Please leave the wee shop alone. Don't be destroying something that, in a small way, helped make the Causeway the place people wanted to visit...that you wanted to invest in

Sounds about right for the national trust

Have always had a wee run round the shop when we go the Causeway. Disgrace that they want to get rid of it and put them out of business

This family business should be embraced. Not put out of business. Build the toilet block elsewhere.

Enough is enough from the dreadful National Trust. Leave the Causeway Coast and leave McConaghy's well alone!.
