Inspection warns Cliffs of Moher trail ill-equipped for number of visitors, should be 'closed immediately'

The inspection highlighted several areas where the trail was too narrow to cater for the volume of walkers, and locations where people were most likely to stray off course, sometimes deliberately and while 'engaging in risky behaviour'. Picture: Press 22

An inspection of the Cliffs of Moher walking trail found visitors ill-equipped for conditions, people ignoring warning signs, and a humanist wedding where participants were standing close to the cliff edge.

The review was undertaken by Sport Ireland in mid-August after two youngsters tragically fell to their deaths in July.
