Minister of State Brian Hayes TD announces extended opening times for Trim Castle
Brian Hayes TD, Minister of State with special responsibility for the Office of Public Works, today formally announced the new opening times for Trim Castle.
The Minister was in Trim Castle this morning and said: “Having reviewed the opening times I can now confirm that Trim Castle will open seven days a week to the public on St. Patrick’s Day rather than at Easter. It is important to note that the Castle is open all year round at weekends (excluding Christmas and New Year) and I hope that this extension to the season will be of benefit to the Town.”
The Minister concluded: “I recently confirmed that the “Free Day” on the first Wednesday of every month is to continue in 2012. I am delighted that I can continue with this initiative in these very challenging economic times.”
A complete listing of opening times at all O.P.W. guided Heritage Sites and National Parks can be found at www.heritageireland.ie. Intended visitors are requested to check this site in advance to see any local arrangements that may be in place at the site they propose to visit.
