Pilgrim Paths of Ireland
To be considered an official pilgrim, one must walk a minimum of one hundred kilometers: this is the requirement for receiving the compostelana on the Way of Saint James. The same applies to the Passport of the Pilgrim Paths of Ireland. The Pilgrim Paths of Ireland is a foundation dedicated to restoring and preserving the country’s ancient medieval routes that have fallen into disuse over the last four centuries due to its troubled religious history.
