Croagh Patrick Climb

The Insurance Institutes of Galway & Sligo are delighted to announce a joint fundraising initiative in support of Western Alzheimer

We are inviting all members and their families from all Insurance Institutes to join us as we take on Croagh Patrick on Saturday, September 12, to raise funds for this worthy cause.


- Climb: We will begin at 10am, everyone climbs at their own pace

- Transport: The Insurance Institute of Galway will be running a bus to and from Croagh Patrick (this may incur a €10 fee) as well as The Insurance Institute of Sligo also running a return bus from Sligo on the day. Please email galway@iii.ie or sligo@iii.ie if you wish to take either bus.

- After: There will be food at the Misunderstood Heron and refreshments in Campbells pub both near the base of Croagh Patrick.

- Accommodation: There are 10 rooms block booked in Westport for anyone looking to stay over.

- Dogs: Croagh Patrick is a working farm and dogs are not permitted on the mountain.


Whether you're an experienced hillwalker or simply looking to support a great cause, we'd love to have you join us for what promises to be an enjoyable and rewarding day.

For those who do not wish to climb, but wish to support Western Alzheimers there is a donation option also.

Thank you to our sponsors of this event, FBD, Premium Credit & Brokers Ireland
