"All of the projects who received funding for National Heritage Week had to have a community benefit and host an event this week.

"It is really great to see so many events in Meath including: the Hill of Slane Tours; Medieval Trim tours; a nature talk in Navan Education Centre; a talk in Navan Library about World War 1; a discussion in St. Columba's Church on the monuments of Kells; a moonlight walk of Kells' monastic walls; trips along the Boyne and much more."
