Upgrades to Dun Áilinne Interpretive Park

A new sign explaining the monument and the artist, the late Noel Scullion, and a second seat are included elements in upgrades to the Dun Áilinne Interpretive Park, writes Brian Byrne. The work will be completed next month.

The July meeting of Kilcullen Community Action also heard that new edging and gravel will be part of the upgrade, while the second seat will be dedicated to the late Liam O'Flynn, marking his musical contribution to the project. The first seat, recently installed, is dedicated to Noel Scullion.

In addition, explanation panels about the Royal Sites of Ireland in the Heritage Centre will be installed, replacing the existing hanging ones, which have faded.

The work is being funded by a grant aiding Irish projects currently under consideration for submission for UNESCO World Heritage status.

Dun Áilinne, one of the Royal Sites, is on a private working farm with no public access, which prompted the establishment of the Interpretive Park at Nicholastown by KCA in 2008. It is hoped to make the Heritage Centre a further information hub for the site.
