A spokesperson for the Errigal Mountain Project has now asked the public not to use the pathway on the iconic mountain for the immediate future after damage caused by heavy rain
The public have been asked not to climb Co Donegal 's iconic Errigal Mountain after heavy rain washed away parts of a new €630,000 pathway.
Each week, hundreds of locals and visitors are now undertaking the challenge in a bid to enjoy the breathtaking views from the top of the mountain. However, a spokesperson for the Errigal Mountain Project has now asked the public not to use the pathway for the immediate future.READ MORE: 'Disruptive passenger' arrested at Dublin Airport following on-board incident on incoming flight
"This is extremely unfortunate as there has been a huge investment by the local community and Donegal County Council both in terms of time, effort and finances. We respectfully ask that you do not climb the mountain at this time." Stone steps were placed on the majority of the hill, which had become badly eroded from the thousands of footsteps that displaced rocks in the past. As hikers have been encouraged to stick to the new path, the surrounding mountain habitat is said to be recovering well.
