Great Lighthouses of Ireland Launch


Former Lighthouse Keeper Gerald Butler and a young girl, Sarah (6)

The interpretive approach for Great Lighthouses of Ireland launched on the 20th May 2015.

Featuring twelve lighthouses in stunning coastal locations Great Lighthouses of Ireland will offer unforgettable experiences and create a deep appreciation of the role of lighthouses, past and present, and in the maritime and seafaring story of the island of Ireland.

We were very excited to see the launch of the website and video and wish all the partners good luck for the future. This was a very interesting and exciting project to have been involved in.
