'Pay-out culture' blamed as wall climbing centre restricts access to facilities

A wall climbing centre has announced it has to restrict those who can access its facilities as it has been unable to secure public liability insurance.

Management at Suas Climbing Centre in Clare - which claims to be the only dedicated climbing centre in the country's midwest - has issued a notice to customers to highlight its “plight” and say the “entire leisure industry in Ireland is under threat of closure” due to insurance issues.
