Paraglider injured after crashing on Welsh mountain
Paraglider injured after crashing on Welsh mountain The paraglider was in mountainous terrain when they crashed and suffered serious injuries after a 'hard' landing Summit cairn on Moel Wnion (Image: Chris Andrews/Wiki) A paraglider sustained severe injuries following a crash in mountainous terrain within Eryri National Park (Snowdonia). The pilot was transported to hospital by air ambulance after experiencing a "hard" landing close to Moel Wnion in the lower Carneddau mountain range. The Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue Organisation (OVMRO) reported the paraglider encountered difficulties following a significant malfunction with their equipment. Despite sustaining serious injuries the casualty managed to raise the alarm. Moel Wnion, standing at 1,903ft between Llanlechid and Abergwyngregyn, Gwynedd, is considered to offer "excellent soaring" conditions for hang gliders and paragliders. Its relatively flat summit makes it a popular training location for beginner pilots. Gliding organisation Snowdonia Sky Sports said: "Moel Wnion is a very forgiving site by local standards and offers great ridge soaring with good opportunities to hone those top-landing skills." Information about the incident, which occurred on Monday, July 21, has recently come to light. Seventeen OVMRO volunteers responded to the emergency, staying at the location for more than three hours, reports NorthWalesLive. Given the isolated position and the extent of the injuries Coastguard rescue helicopter 936 was deployed from Caernarfon airport. Helimed 61, a Wales Air Ambulance helicopter also based at Caernarfon, was placed on alert should additional assistance be required. An OVMRO spokesman said: "A paraglider flying close to Moel Wnion experienced a significant problem with their wing and impacted the ground hard, sustaining serious injuries but able to call for help." They added: "Local team members were quickly on scene with Rescue 936. (They) assessed and treated the casualty before packaging them for a stretcher move to the aircraft that had landed a short distance away.

Senator says it is 'scandalous' the IRFU is a ‘major Dublin 4 landlord'
A SINN FÉIN Senator has said it is 'scandalous' that the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) has 'become a major landlord in the Dublin 4 area'. Chris Andrews made the remarks in the Seanad this afternoon and referenced reporting in the Sunday Independent that the IRFU has become a landlord under a trust company and is renting out a two-bed home for up for €6,500 a month. The Sunday Independent found the IRFU's property holdings owns 26 properties across Dublin, nine of which were purchased in the last three years at an estimated cost of over €7.5m. Some 23 of these properties are in Dublin 4, close to the Aviva Stadium, and at least nine properties owned by the IRFU in Dublin 4 are registered with the Residential Tenancies Board for renting. File image of Sinn Féin Senator Chris Andrews Alamy Stock Photo Alamy Stock Photo Andrews said the IRFU has 'been steadily acquiring rental properties near the Aviva Stadium and renting them out at extortionate rates'. He added: 'This property portfolio is valued at €30 million, despite the organisation declaring a budget deficit of €18 million according to its most recent accounts.' Advertisement He said that for a 'body that receives considerable state funding, it is highly questionable that millions would be spent acquiring high-value real estate while at the same time making cuts to operations for the sake of financial sustainability'. Andrews noted that the IRFU recently announced that it would discontinue its men's Sevens programme as part of a plan to ensure financial sustainability. He said this team was 'cut and it doesn't seem to have been overly questioned'. Andrews added that the IRFU, like all organisations that use the Aviva Stadium, 'has a responsibility to the local community to be a good neighbour'. He called for 'clarity' from the IRFU and the Sports Minister Patrick O'Donovan to 'ensure residents in the area and the IRFU's own tenants are not being taken advantage of, and to ensure taxpayer funding is being used wisely and with responsibility.' Andrews also said that when funding is allocated to the IRFU, it is 'done with the understanding that it will be used to support the development of sport at grassroots level, as well as to enable it to succeed at the highest international stage'. 'It is not done to allow rugby to satisfy its desire to be a landlord,' he added. Andrews concluded by remarking that the 'IRFU should be focused on rugby, not squeezing rent out of residents'.
