Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
This detached supplement comprises an alphabetical list of museums and visitor centres organised under each province of Ireland (including Northern Ireland). Each entry includes contact addresses and telephone numbers, opening times, admission fees, and a short précis of what is on offer to visitors. In `Caulfield, Céide and Mayo 5000', Gearóid Conroy (S11--S13) interviews Séamas Caulfield who discovered and recorded the Céide Fields Neolithic field system in north Co Mayo. Caulfield discusses the features of the new interpretative centre built to explain the ancient field system, and answers criticisms levelled against the centre primarily by Dublin-based journalists. In `Accessibility to heritage attractions in the Cork region 1993', Paula Cogan (S13) reviews the level of accessibility for the disabled at the Jameson Heritage Centre (Midleton), the Queenstown Project (Cobh), the Cork Gaol (Cork City), and the Royal Gunpowder Mills (Ballincollig); the various problems encountered by disabled people at these and other locations, and the ways in which they are being tackled, are highlighted. `Dublinia: a bridge to the medieval past' by Howard Clarke (S14--S15) outlines the origins and the main features of a new interpretative centre on medieval Dublin, which is housed in the neo-Gothic Christ Church Cathedral, while the exhibits on offer there are reviewed by Mary de Courcy (S14) in `"Waxwork figures and suspicious wine tasters"'. The supplement concludes with `Craggaunowen -- the living past', a description by Tom Cassidy (S15) of a project to breed primitive breeds of domestic animals (beginning with a flock of Soay sheep which are seen as representative of Bronze Age animals) at the reconstructed Bronze Age lake dwelling at Craggaunowen, Co Clare. Mouflon sheep (thought to be an Iron Age variety) and Indian Red Jungle Fowl (ancestors of today's chickens) will also be acquired for the project. | |||||||||||
