Michelle Cooper Galvin was down there to take photos for the papers and she told him who to talk to if he wanted to volunteer. It could be something as simple as getting drinks for the lads as they come in for a break, I didnt ask him. It seems like the kind of situation they will need volunteers for but I dont know how things will work cos of covid. Might be worth contacting someone before heading down to see if they need a pair of hands.

There's a bench overlooking the beautiful view of the mountains and lake, and I decided to sit for a few minutes to enjoy it. What a shock it was to see evidence that someone had lit a fire in front of the bench. It was a campfire type with remains of ash and some scorched branches. There was a number of dry grass tufts nearby and I imagine it could well easily have been another tragic, careless act to the park.

They have these plastic heated see-through marquees all over Eastern Europe that you can sit inside in the middle of winter and have your hot port or whatever sitting at the edge of the square and they are great. Things like this are overdue in Ireland with the weather we have tbh.
