Mosquitoes are not a major concern in Ireland, including Glenveagh National Park, due to the country's cool and wet climate. The presence of these pesky insects is limited during the summer months, and they are not known to transmit any serious diseases in the region.

Although the mosquito population is relatively low in Ireland, it is important to take precautions to prevent bites when visiting outdoor areas such as Glenveagh National Park. Mosquito repellent and wearing long sleeves and pants can help reduce the risk of being bitten.

While mosquito-borne diseases are rare in Ireland, it is still important to be aware of the potential risks associated with these insects. Diseases such as West Nile virus and Lyme disease, which can be transmitted by mosquitoes, have been reported in other parts of Europe. Visitors to Glenveagh National Park should take steps to protect themselves from mosquito bites to avoid any potential health issues.
