Access to Butlers Marina is through these gates which are controlled by a Computerised Key Tag System. You pay a deposit of €30 for each key tag in your name. We suggest that you keep the key tag in your car and if you have two cars put one key tag in each. (It does not help your blood pressure when you turn up and the key tag is left at home or left with the boat keys on the boat.)

How the Computerised Key Tag System Works

When you place your keytag up close to the black keytag reader on the short pole outside the gates, the red light will flash to green, the reader will bleep and the gates will begin to open. Simultaineously, the computers, both in Dublin and Carrick, will upload your name, boat name, date and time of entry, etc.

Tips and Guidance

• The keytag contains a memory chip.
• Do not place the keytag near a Magnet, Microwaves, etc
• Do not put it in the post as the post office have scanners which will wipe its memory.
