Monahullen Airstrip

The closure was due to the cessation of private operations. As a private 'farm strip', its activity was dependent on the owner's personal or economic circumstances. When the owner stopped flying or maintaining the strip, it naturally reverted to agricultural land. There is no evidence to suggest the closure was caused by a specific accident, military conversion, or regulatory action.

The site has been fully returned to agricultural use and is now private farmland. Recent satellite imagery shows the area as part of a larger field, likely used for grazing or crop cultivation. While a very faint outline of the former runway can still be discerned from the air under certain conditions, no aviation infrastructure (such as hangars, windsocks, or markings) remains on the site.

Monahullen Airstrip was a small, private grass runway used for General Aviation (GA). Its significance was entirely local, serving as a base for recreational flying for its owner and possibly other local pilots. Operations would have been limited to light, single-engine aircraft (like Cessna or Piper models) or microlights. The identifier IE-0068 is a national designator used for cataloging purposes, not an official ICAO code, underscoring its status as a minor, private field not intended for commercial or public transport.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Monahullen Airstrip. The land is privately owned and actively used for farming. Re-establishing an airstrip would require the landowner's initiative, significant private investment to restore the runway surface, and obtaining new permissions and registrations from the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA). The likelihood of this happening is considered extremely low to non-existent.
