Johnstown info day
CURRENTLY undergoing a major €7.5 million restoration and improvement project, Johnstown Castle is holding a public information day tomorrow (Wednesday), amid ongoing controversy over a decision to significantly increase entrance fees.
The event taking place from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., was initially organised in response to the public backlash about admission price hikes but has been broadened to include information about the new facilities and job opportunities at the castle.
‘We will be discussing upcoming job and volunteering opportunities as well as membership,’ said Anne O’Donoghue, CEO of the Irish Heritage Trust, which is now managing the castle, museum and grounds on behalf of Teagasc.
