Christine Baker, Heritage Officer with Fingal County Council, said that a growing interest in heritage is very much reflected in the diverse range of projects submitted this year. ‘Fingal County Council produced a booklet about gardening and biodiversity and I must have given out over 1,000 copies,” she said. ‘Heritage is about people connecting to their communities, now and into the future.’Like last year’s Heritage Week, many of the events will be predominantly online. Last year, the Fingal Heritage Network was a category winner for its virtual exhibition, ‘Snapshots of Fingal’s Past’. The Fingal Heritage X Climate Project will provide an opportunity for members of the community to play their part in monitoring heritage sites at risk from climate change.
