Interesting article below from yesterday's Irish Times regarding a recent request by by the MacGillicuddy Reeks Mountain Access Forum for clubs or groups of 10 or more people to register with them, observe recommended parking/access areas and provide insurance details. It's a fairly controversial move. The article makes the point that the landowners, who up until now have allowed access based on goodwill, are looking at industries cashing in on the boom in walking, while they are left to deal with the consequences, including damage to land, fencing and livestock.
