Mountaineering Ireland has worked with other members of Comhairle na Tuaithe, the national advisory body on outdoor recreation, to produce this booklet, which is aimed at landowners, and everyone who uses Ireland’s outdoors for recreation, education or related activities. The booklet includes information on changes to the Occupiers’ Liability Act that came into effect in 2023. Read the Recreation in Ireland’s Outdoors booklet online HERE.
