Kathy retiring from Heritage Centre

Kathy Flynn is retiring from her position as the office manager in the Kilcullen Heritage Centre this month.



Kathy, who has been employed in the Centre under a FAS Scheme, has catalogued the various artefacts and other items which are on display in the premises, developed as Kilcullen's Millennium Project.

Chair of the Centre's Management Committee, Nessa Dunlea, has paid tribute both to Kathy's work and to the FAS programme for contributing to making the Heritage Centre a viable entity.

"These places just don't work unless they are open at regular times," she says. "Having somebody there to be able to answer queries from visitors is absolutely necessary."

The position has been sanctioned for further funding and the Heritage Group are actively looking for a replacement for Kathy.

A feature on the Kilcullen Heritage Centre will appear in this week's Kildare Nationalist, published tomorrow.
