National Heritage Week

Anyway, we wish, as you say, we wish the best of luck to all the East Clare teams.

Roisin, I'm just thinking, and I associate you with Heritage Week, Roisin, and Heritage Week is coming up next week.

It's culture night.

Cultures, sorry.

...

the event for Heritage Week.

Right.

Yeah.

We need to support the local community safety partnership and the work that they are going to do.

After the recent success of Heritage Week, and with excitement building around Cultural Night, which will be held on Friday week, the topic of Wexford's history and values is front of mind right now.

Mayor Barron says one of the goals they want to achieve with the trust is instilling that love of county and our traditions and customs into the next generation.

She explains what will happen under a new plan called the Junior Historian Project.

me here.

And they're busy as well now with QR codes and everything and Heritage Week and all that, you know.

Which you were a part of, Alan, as well.

Yes, absolutely.

Yeah, we

had a festival this year below in Kilmorry with the Heritage Week.

It went off great.

It went off absolutely great.

And so we approached Jane with this idea and we came up with the title Walking in Her Footsteps and looking at women's heritage at risk, which was the theme.

Heritage at risk was the theme for this year's National Heritage Week.

And Jane was absolutely delighted to be approached.

She said, she really ran with the idea and we sort of were back and forth and negotiating and then she created this amazing walk.

But sorry, yeah.

First of all, we were talking, the reason why we asked you in, first of all, is to do with Heritage Week.

That's right.

And next week is Heritage Week.

And there's activity going on in the general Lough Graney area.

That's right.

Yes.

So, actually, Heritage Week starts today.

You know all about the Fox today.

And Birdwatch you were with recently, just to mention that they have lots going on for Heritage Week.

And actually, we're interviewing them.

They're with us tomorrow on the show.

There's always a big day in Killaloe on the 15th of August, and they have, um, they have, uh, a new symbol.

They, they've increased half from National Heritage Week with a symbol designed by Innis native, um, Tom Duquette.

And they have a new, uh, new Holy Well waymark there on, uh, in it.

So, um-
