What is the insurance position if a non-member wants to come out with the club? For example, a friend of a member who is visiting town, or a potential member who is simply trying out the activity?

Is a club member covered if s/he is engaged in mountaineering activities outside the club?

One of our members slipped and broke her elbow while walking in Kerry. She needed an operation to have pins inserted and will be in plaster for 3 months. Is she entitled to anything under our MI insurance cover?

I’m planning a walking and climbing trip to Corsica, does my MI insurance cover this?

Our club is organising a sponsored walk, many of the participants won't be club members, or MI members, is this covered by our MI insurance?

I already have Personal Accident insurance, do I still have to pay for this with my MI membership?

Have there been any claims on Mountaineering Ireland's insurance?

Apart from a couple of dental claims, there has been no successful claim from the Mountaineering Ireland  membership, this is one of the reasons we have been able to get such good terms for our cover.

There are a number of claims currently being assessed.
