The public are being encouraged to have their say on the future of the Battle of Aughrim visitor Centre. (29/4)
Galway County Council is currently undertaking a feasibility study of the interpretative centre, which was first opened in 1991.
The 1691 battle between the Jacobite army loyal to James II and the forces of William of Orange was one of the bloodiest ever fought in Britain and Ireland.
The Battle of Aughrim is sometimes referred to as the "Gettysburg of Ireland" due to the high casualties and seismic impact on Irish history.
By the end of the battle, thousands were dead and the Jacobite defeat marked the end of James' cause in Ireland.
Now, Galway County Council is looking to significant upgrade The Battle of Aughrim Visitor Centre, to bring this landmark piece of Irish history to a wider audience at home and abroad.
And it's asking the public to have their say on what that might look like - with a drop-in information session taking place next week.
The public event takes place at the centre on Wednesday, April 29th, from 11am to 1pm.
