TONNES of expensive stone airlifted onto the iconic Sliabh Liag mountain walk by helicopter will have to be removed as it is believed to be the ‘wrong type’.

A spokesperson for Mountainteering Ireland criticised the work undertaken by a private contractor on behalf of Donegal County Council, raising concerns about the quality of the path work and an apparent lack of relevant experience within the contracting team.
