​I have no such plans, as Arranmore lighthouse is owned by the Commissioners of Irish Lights (CIL), which has overall responsibilities for aids to navigation around Ireland.

The potential uses of the lighthouse in addition to its core function as an aid to navigation is a matter for CIL, and I have no role in that regard.
