Our First Open Event was a success !

Play Pause

So our first event was what you might call a "soft opening" !  Although we were ready for the thousands that couldn't find us or lost their way,  we were delighted to meet those who did make their way down the long lane  ! To welcome such interested and respectful visitors to the site here in Clonmines was both a privilege and an honour for us. The inaugural address at 5 p.m. was short and succinct ! Mrs. Domini Codd outlined the work that had been carried in recent years with the support of the Heritage Council and Wexford County Council and how their request that the public be afforded the opportunity to access the site resulted in the site being open for five afternoons this summer. On thanking Mrs. Joan Codd for her hospitality, she acknowledged her commitment to the preservation of the site and her appreciation of the support of the Heritage and County Councils. Mags Codd's art exhibition was very well received and will be a feature on our other open days.
