I'm Public Relations Officer of a mountain association. How do I generate attention grabbing articles to get people interested in our association?

Or you could carve the faces of Haughey Charles McQuaid and Develera into the rock.

Downgrade it to a hill. Claim a conspiracy.

Tell the locals there's lad mountain biking on them then they'll all be out with the pitch forks.

Not very good at your job, you failed to tell us anything about your association.

Leave a large gold nugget lying near a stream to be found. Sit back and let the magic happen. Repeat periodically as required.

Dress up female members of the local hiking group in Swiss drindl dresses and the snappers will come running (climbing).

You should call Roxanne Pallett!

Make claims the government is planning to build social housing on the mountains , should attract plenty of torch weilding yocals

What's a mountain association when it's at home?

Do you own the land?

hairyslug · 02-09-2018 03:25PM

Promote it as a dogging site, not sure how you could make money out of that though unless you charge for entry/viewing.

Create a hollowed out 'pos-brexit survial bunker complex', if it's set to be as bad as they make out.
Much like the Cheyenne complex, however you'll need a loan of a decent JCB for a while.

Interested in the mountain? or interested in your association?

I presume you mean the latter.. in which case I would ask what mountain/s? And surely many hiking groups etc. would be interested if you had information to offer?

Families etc. would be interested if you had events on?

Capt'n Midnight · 02-09-2018 03:39PM

Move them somewhere else for a few weeks.

Easy enough if you get stuck into the history. For instance, Sliabh gCuillinn in the south Armagh part of Airgíalla/Oriel is associated with the world of Art Mac Cumhaigh, Peadar Ó Doirnín and a whole slew of other 18th century poets of the northern 'Hidden Ireland'. The Glens of Aherlow are associated with Seathrún Céitinn, Pádraigín Haicéad and other famous voices of the 17th century. Similarly, there are bound to be bothies, mass rocks, relics of the Penal Laws, lore associated with famous outlaws and so much else in the mountains. Usually you'll find the mountainous areas were most radical in history - there's a famous quote from a Kerry recruiter in the War of Independence that he wouldn't bother going to the lowlands to recruit IRA members. Similarly up in the Nire valley near Ballymacarberry in the Comeragh mountains you'll find the 'IRA cottage' where the anti-Treaty forces decided to end the Civil War. More poverty and more hunger for change. Look a bit closer and you'll also probably see relics of lazy beds like this from An Gorta Mór and perhaps even a Famine Village (came across one outside Carlingford up on Sliabh Foy a few years ago - this one), not to mention famous tales from throughout history connected with the Ulster Cycle, the Fianna, Méabh of Connacht, Gráinne Mhaol and so many others. Bain sult as!

Are there caves in it? All you need is a cave, some water, and an eccentric billionaire.

Get a Star Wars movie to film there.
