Speaking on the importance of Heritage week, Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Josepha Madigan, said:
“I pay tribute to the hundreds of individuals and communities across Ireland who, every year, give of themselves to stage events and share their interest in heritage with the public at large. This commitment is the backbone of our heritage, and it is more important than ever, given the imperatives around climate action that we nurture those who nurture our heritage.”
With over 2,000 events taking place throughout the country, there is undoubtedly an event for everyone. All registered events are listed on www.heritageweek.ie.
