I'm so proud today to officially announce, with Minister Darragh O'Brien, Ireland's eighth and largest national park: Páirc Náisiúnta na Mara, Ciarraí. With the Conor Pass as its gateway, our first marine national park will see this iconic place protected for future generations.

Today we welcome Páírc Náisiúnta na Mara, Ciarraí – Ireland’s first Marine National Park and our eighth National Park.

The Pairc includes the Conor Pass, as well as new sites at Inch Peninsula, Mount Brandon and the Owenmore River in Co. Kerry.

My first stop on my Ministerial visit to Fingal was to St. Catherine's Church in Rush, then to Rush Tower House and Lanistown Castle (all Community Monuments Fund conservation projects). I met with volunteers of the Drumanagh Community Archaeology Project.

Braving last week's wet weather, built and natural heritage experts gathered in Athenry for our Stakeholder Forum 'Managing Vegetation on Historic Masonry'.

The forum is a joint initiative of our Irish Walled Towns Network and our GLAS Traditional Farm Buildings scheme.

To mark #WorldHeritageDay2024 the National Monuments Service is announcing the establishment of a new Community Heritage Forum for Brú na Bóinne.
