The Challenge of Protecting a Vast National Park
As Ireland ’ s second-largest national park , Glenveagh spans a colossal area , and its security needs are as diverse as its landscape .
From restricted conservation areas to staff offices and visitor facilities , different park sections require varying levels of access .
What makes Glenveagh ’ s situation particularly challenging is its seasonal staff fluctuation . Visitor numbers peak during the summer , and the park relies on temporary workers to manage the influx . These workers need access to specific areas for limited periods .
Glenveagh National Park needed a solution that would not only secure the estate but also offer ease of management for the administrative staff responsible for controlling access permissions . With multiple facilities spread across the park , the ideal system would need to be adaptable , scalable , and able to provide real-time , customisable access control .

Northern Ireland eCLIQ ® : A Tailored Solution for Dynamic Security Needs
The eCLIQ ® system is an innovative electronic locking system , based on the mechanical precision and microelectronic modules of the CLIQ ® technology .
Glenveagh National Park , which requires centralised control over who can access specific areas and when , needs to provide an ideal blend of flexibility and security , making it possible for park administrators to adjust access rights on demand .
The core of the eCLIQ ® system ’ s appeal lies in its ease of use and advanced features . Stephen Crowe , Regional Sales Manager for Mul-T-Lock , explained , “ At Glenveagh National Park , there is a need to restrict public access from certain areas for safety reasons , but at the same time , relevant staff should be able to access these areas whenever required .” The eCLIQ ® system accomplishes this through customisable , time-limited access control .
Park administrators can now manage the system remotely via the CLIQ ® Remote Web Manager , scheduling access permissions down to the individual user and lock .
For instance , gates around the estate can be programmed to grant access during specific hours — such as Monday to Friday , 8 a . m . to 6 p . m .— and to specific personnel only . This granular level of control offers Glenveagh the flexibility to adapt to changing circumstances , such as seasonal hiring or emergencies , without compromising security .
