Over the last few years we have seen a definite change in attitude towards heritage. We are seeing a growing interest in heritage matters amongst the general public and in particular an increase in the number of people wanting to not only experience heritage but get involved in and learn more about their heritage. National Heritage Week provides a fantastic opportunity for people of all ages to participate and have fun. There are events for all interests throughout the week so I would encourage people to pick up a copy of the event guide or log on to www.heritageweek.ie and see what is offer in their county”.
