Sport Ireland Outdoors holds an insurance policy covering approved National Way-Marked Ways and Looped Walks, which protects landowners against claims from recreational users of these specified trails. The insurance policy covers trails that meet a specified standard, and includes all trails on my Department's Walks Scheme.
The trail management organisation responsible for developing the trail referred to by the Deputy may wish to contact Sport Ireland Outdoors to discuss the accreditation of the trail and the potential for inclusion in the insurance policy.
