QUESTION NO. 39

QUESTION: Councillor E. Ó Broin

To ask the Chief Executive if this local authority publishes and distributes a hard copy programme of events for Heritage Week which takes place in August each year as is the norm in other local authorities such as Kildare County Council?

REPLY:

SDCC prepares an event list of heritage activities that are spread throughout summer and early autumn every year. 

This schedule of events is compiled and published every year in the 'Heritage and History' booklet which incorporates events that are specifically scheduled for National Heritage Week.  This year, Heritage Week occurred between 12th – 20th August.  

The SDCC History and Heritage 2023 booklet can be accessed on-line at  History and Heritage - SDCC, while hard copies are distributed freely and are available in each of the County Libraries. 

The SDCC heritage event list is co-ordinated by the Library Service.  Funding for these activities and for the publication of the History and Heritage booklet is drawn annually from the County Heritage Plan budget.
