    Best make the most of it. This scheme is being phased out. Iirc, some sites have already done it.

    When you see the range of sites that the National Trust in the UK look after and you can visit them all for just £69 per year, it shows how poor the OPW are here.

    I suppose that should be a BA, if living in the UK or Northern Ireland, join the national trust.

    BTW I have to laugh that the Glendalough Visitor center is on this free Wednesday list. Forget about the insanely small and useless visitor center and instead spend hours at this magnificent park for free *, just chill out by the lakes or do one of the many great hikes around it if that is your thing.

    * Note parking is €4 at Glendalough.

    BBTW If our government actually cared about our heritage and nature, they would buy the Guinness Estate that is up for sale and integrate it into Glendalough. The cost would easily be earned back on all the tourists it would bring in.

    Note that most of the places it covers are free or very cheap anyway.

    Unless you are planning to hit Newgrange, Muckross House * and Kilmainham Gaol in the same year, not really worth it.

    * Doesn't cover the Traditional Farm
