Posted 28 December 2017:

It seems that the National Trust closed its Visitor Center and public toilets at the Giants' Causeway on St.Stephens Day (26 December - a national holiday in the UK), inconveniencing visitors.

FYI, the National Trust for Ireland (established June 1948) is a NGO with "a wide-ranging public interest mandate in relation to the environment."

I appreciate the concern for the environment that the National Trust brings to the table, but this is the kind of thing that happens when bureaucracies are put in charge of running a business. And this is a home-grown one (vs. imposed by EU), so will continue after Brexit.
