Killarney sites maintain historical accreditation

Three sites in Killarney have maintained their historical accreditation for the third year in a row.

13 museums were celebrated for meeting the Heritage Council’s Standards Programme for Ireland’s standards at an event in Kilkenny Castle recently.

Three sites in Muckross are the house, the house research library and the traditional farms.

They've maintained their full accredition for three years in a row, making them the most successful participant for consistently upholding standards over a 17-year period.
