Rifle Range in Ticknock

Any of you that keep an eye on the message board on MTBIreland may be aware of plans to renovate the old rifle range in Ticknock Forest. Work is currently under way by the Leinster Rifle and Pistol Club to repair the range for private use.

This has serious safety implications for all users of Three Rock. MAD have launched a campaign to highlight these concerns, and we currently have the support of Cycling Ireland, Coillte, and South Dublin TDs Olivia Mitchell, Liz O'Donnell, and Eamon Ryan.

Ticknock is likely to be visited by various groups in relation to this over the coming weeks, so we'd ask you all to be on best behaviour. Remember our code of conduct - always give way to walkers, pull in and stop for horses, and show courtesy to all mountain users.

We'll keep you all posted with further developments as the campaign rolls on. Keep an eye our for media blurb, contact Mick O'Dowd (by email, or 086 6004878) for any further information.
