Mini 3 Achill Island - One of Ireland's hidden gems

[Drone Views Media]

Hi guys,

Few places would tempt me to spend a prolonged period of time in a tent on an Island, but Ireland's Achill Island is a distinct exception. I hope you enjoy my latest cinematic video

As a drone pilot interested in an Ireland visit, I'm curious how were you able to legally shoot this footage? It seems that nearly the entire coast of Ireland (including Keem Beach, which I see you have footage of) is restricted as an SPA or SAC, according to this map. The link for that map was from the IAA website, so it is official guidance. Were you outside the protected zones with long zoom? Did you pick areas that were not covered by those zones? Did you get permission for the filming? Any guidance would be appreciated.
