Mountaineering Ireland is calling for people to be mindful as it says the downpours have left their mark on many upland areas.

Helen Lawless, Access and Conservation Officer with the organisation, said: “We’ve had a lot of rain over the last while, so the hills are really wet, especially the peatland areas and when the hills are wet they are more vulnerable to the impact of our footfall.”
