On Sunday night, I was watching a preview of the programme that is to be aired next week. It showed the helicopter airlifting somebody from Ballhoura. The area has a very good reputation. My point was not necessarily on the mountain bike trails but on people entering low uplands with bogs, bog holes and very soft conditions underfoot. People go off the trail and get lost and become disorientated. Mr. Christie’s organisation focuses primarily on the Wicklow Mountains and Kerry mountains. What relationship does it have with those in the low uplands?
