Heritage sites to offer free entry [schooldays.ie]
- Published: 08 July 2011
Parents looking for activities to keep their children occupied this summer may be interested to hear that entry to all sites run by the Office of Public Works (OPW) will be free of charge on the first Wednesday of every month.
There are around 750 such locations throughout the country and, while many are permanently free to enter, the initiative will benefit several popular attractions, including Kilmainham Gaol, Dublin Castle and the Rock of Cashel, the Irish Times reported.
Some of these locations usually charge up to 14 euros for a family ticket and it is hoped offering free entry will encourage people to take an interest in Ireland's heritage.
