A new campaign entitled Protect Our Past launched this week, urging visitors to heritage sites to be mindful of their actions over the summer. The focus of the campaign is to raise awareness of the value, importance and sensitivity of Ireland’s built heritage and to convey some key messages around visitor behaviour at monuments.
The campaign is a joint initiative of the Office of Public Works and the National Monuments Service (DHLGH). A short guide has been produced for visitors (available here: https://issuu.com/obair/docs/protecting_our_past )
Over the coming weeks the Department and OPW will be sharing on respective social media channels a series of animated videos to highlight the impact that inappropriate behaviour can have on sites. We hope that raising awareness of the value of these sites will lead to an even wider appreciation and understanding of their significance and help in their protection.
#ProtectOurPast campaign information is available on www.gov.ie/opw/ .
