Minister McHugh launches the Co. Donegal Event Guide for National Heritage Week taking place from 23 to 31 August 2014 National Heritage Week provides a great opportunity for people to experience and engage with their built, cultural and natural heritage. County Donegal is one of the places to be in during National Heritage Week with over 90 events taking place throughout the county, over 20 of which are organised or hosted by Cultural Services, Donegal County Council. National Heritage Week is coordinated by The Heritage Council & Local Authority Heritage Officers with support from the Department of Arts, Heritage & the Gaeltacht and Fáilte Ireland. Our heritage plays such an important role in contributing to a local sense of place and to the distinctiveness of our country. It is our communities - indeed our families - big and small - that are the custodians of our heritage and who will pass on our traditions and knowledge to the next generation. National Heritage Week is the perfect platform for families - of all ages - to come together to get involved in a wide range of activities as a family. Across the county people are working together to promote our heritage. Each year during National Heritage Week we witness this wonderful example of collective effort. —————————————————————————— Seolann an tAire McHugh Clár Imeachtaí Contae Dhún na nGall don tSeachtain Oidhreachta Náisiúnta ón 23 go dtí an 31 Lúnasa 2014 Tugann an tSeachtain Oidhreachta Náisiúnta deis an-mhaith do dhaoine dul i ngleic lena n-oidhreacht thógtha, chultúrtha agus nádúrtha. Tá Contae Dhún na nGall ar na háiteanna is gnóthaigh le linn na Seachtaine Oidhreachta Náisiúnta, le níos mó ná 90 ócáid ar siúl ar fud an chontae. Tá níos mó ná 20 díobh sin á n-eagrú nó á n-óstáil ag Seirbhísí Chultúrtha Chomhairle Contae Dhún na nGall. Is iad An Chomhairle Oidhreachta agus Oifigigh Oidhreachta an Údaráis Áitiúil, le tacaíocht ón Roinn Ealaíon, Oidhreachta agus Gaeltachta agus Fáilte Éireann a chomhordaíonn an tSeachtain Oidhreachta Náisiúnta Agus é ag labhairt ag an seoladh, dúirt an tAire McHugh “Tá ról iontach tábhachtach ag ár n-oidhreacht mar go gcuireann sí lenár dtuiscint ar an cheantar agus le héagsúlacht na tíre seo. Is iad ár bpobail – ár dteaghlaigh féin fiú – idir bheag agus mhór – a chosnaíonn agus a chaomhnaíonn ár n-oidhreacht agus a thabharfaidh ár dtraidisiúin agus ár ngaois don chéad ghlúin eile. Is deis ar dóigh í an tSeachtain Oidhreachta Náisiúnta do theaghlaigh – óg agus aosta – chun teacht le chéile agus páirt a ghlacadh i raon leathan de ghníomhaíochtaí. Tá daoine ag obair le chéile ar fud na tíre lenár n-oidhreacht a chur chun cinn. Achan bhliain le linn na Seachtaine Oidhreachta Náisiúnta feiceann muid an chomhoibriú den scoth seo.
