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.
Implementation of ‘Embracing Ireland’s Outdoors’ is jointly led by the Department of Rural and Community Development and Sport Ireland, with oversight from Comhairle na Tuaithe.
Mountaineering Ireland will play 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.
