National Outdoor Recreation Strategy
Embracing Ireland’s Outdoors, Ireland’s National Outdoor Recreation Strategy was launched In November 2022. Mountaineering Ireland had a key role in the development of this strategy with our Access & Conservation Officer, Helen Lawless co-chairing the Strategy Working Group.
The National Outdoor Recreation Strategy is available here.
Mountaineering Ireland is playing an active part in the implementation of the strategy, as it addresses key issues for our members, across areas such as greater opportunities for people to engage in outdoor recreation, improving access, protection of the environment and encouraging responsible recreation.
An early output from the strategy was publication of national Guidelines for Organising Outdoor Activity events, a project led by Fáilte Ireland on behalf of Comhairle na Tuaithe to help ensure such events are well-planned and managed. Check out the
event guidelines here.
