Thousands are expected to make the climb over the course of the weekend
Thousands of pilgrims expected to make the journey up Croagh Patrick this weekend for Reek Sunday have been encouraged to take on board safety advice before making the climb, particularly about proper clothing and approaching the summit.
Elaine Rowley, one of the team members from MMR said that there was certain equipment that pilgrims should ensure they have before attempting the climb. The main pathway has been maintained by Mayo County Council and conservation groups, and is the safest way up the mountain. “People are getting out there more since the pandemic, so we’ve noticed that we’re not just getting call outs to Croagh Patrick, but other mountains in the area,” she said.
This year, the pilgrimage will be attended by the Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All-Ireland, Archbishop Eamon Martin, who will say mass from the summit on Reek Sunday.
