Minister Patrick O’ Donovan announced today that admission charges to all fee-paying open OPW heritage sites are being waived until the end of the year. With inter-county travel possible once again and museums and galleries allowed to reopen earlier this week, this measure will support the domestic tourism industry and local businesses relying on it by incentivising people in Ireland to discover, enjoy and cherish the many OPW heritage sites, parks and museums spread across the country as they plan outings and staycations this summer.

We have something for everybody to discover and enjoy: Neolithic tombs older than the pyramids at Newgrange, Knowth, Dowth and Loughcrew; stone forts like Dún Aonghasa; medieval castles in Trim and Cahir, historic battle fields like the Battle of the Boyne in Oldbridge; magical islands like Garinish Island in West Cork; stately homes sitting in beautifully landscaped parks such as Castletown House in Celbridge, Doneraile Court in Co. Cork, and Emo Court in Co. Laois; the ancestral home of Daniel O’Connell, Derrynane House, and Patrick Pearse’s summer cottage in Ros Muc to name just a few.
