Programme 2022.
Now that the COVID-19 restrictions are being eased, it is hoped that we can gradually resume our programme of events, though always fully respecting all government health guidelines in force.
The next MAHS event is a guided walk at Killyconny Bog with Kate Flood and the Killyconny Bog Project:
on Sunday August 21st 2022. Maurice Eakin, Wetland Ecologist with the National Parks and Wildlife will also be present to discuss the recent restoration works at the bog.
We will meet at St Kilian's Heritage Centre, Mullagh, Co. Cavan at 2pm.
There will be coach transport from the Heritage Centre to the bog due to very limited parking at the site so prior booking is essential. It will be on a first come (email!) basis up to the maximum number that can be accommodated.
