Press Releases An Taoiseach, Enda Kenny, T.D., turned the first sod for a major cultural and visitor centre at Pearse’s Cottage, Ros Muc, County Galway. The centre is one of the eight flagship capital projects which form a core part of the Historical Reflection strand of the Ireland 2016 Centenary Programme, the year-long programme of activity to commemorate the events of the 1916 Rising. The visitor centre at Pearse’s Cottage is one of eight major projects being developed as part of a €22 million capital investment, which will leave a permanent legacy from the 2016 commemorations. Pearse’s Cottage is set in a striking landscape in Ros Muc where Patrick Pearse, one of the leaders of the 1916 Rising, spent his summers from 1909 to 1915. The new centre at Pearse’s Cottage will provide visitors with an experiential introduction to the Irish language, the local Gaeltacht culture and the surrounding landscape. This will be done in the context of Patrick Pearse’s story and through the lens of what attracted him to Ros Muc. The development will comprise four elements including a new visitor centre, Cosán Chonamara (consisting of 10 acres including looped walks), Slí na Coille (an interpretative space focusing on Patrick Pearse) and the existing Pearse’s Cottage. The development of the new centre is being led by Údarás na Gaeltachta as part of a steering group comprising Galway County Council, the Office of Public Works, Fáilte Ireland and the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht.

Preas Ráiteas Rinne an Taoiseach, Enda Kenny, T.D., an chéad fhód a chasadh do mhórionad cultúrtha agus cuairteoirí ag Teach an Phiarsaigh, Ros Muc, Co. na Gaillimhe. Tá an t-ionad ar cheann d’ocht mórthionscadal caipitil atá mar chuid lárnach den snáithe Machnamh ar an Stair in Éire 2016: Clár Comórtha Céad Bliain, an clár gníomhaíochta bliana chun imeachtaí Éirí Amach 1916 a chomóradh. Tá an t-ionad cuairteoirí ag Teach an Phiarsaigh ar cheann d’ocht mórthionscadal atá á bhforbairt mar chuid d’infheistíocht chaipitil de luach €22 mhilliún, lena bhfágfar oidhreacht bhuan ar chuimhneacháin 2016. Tá Teach an Phiarsaigh suite i dtírdhreach suaithinseach i Ros Muc, áit ar chaith Pádraig Mac Piarais, duine de cheannairí Éirí Amach 1916, samhraí na mblianta ó 1909 go 1915. San ionad nua i dTeach an Phiarsaigh, beidh deis ag cuairteoirí léargas a fháil ar an nGaeilge agus ar chultúr na Gaeltachta chomh maith le taitneamh a bhaint as an tírdhreach mórthimpeall. Déanfar é sin i gcomhthéacs scéal an Phiarsaigh agus trí shúil a chaitheamh ar an méid a mheall go Ros Muc é. Cuimseofar ceithre eilimint san fhorbairt, lena n-áirítear ionad nua do chuairteoirí, Cosán Chonamara (ina mbeidh 10 n-acra agus siúlóidí lúbtha), Slí na Coille (spás léirmhínithe ina ndíreofar ar Phádraig Mac Piarais féin) agus Teach an Phiarsaigh, atá ann cheana. Tá an fhorbairt faoi threoir Údarás na Gaeltachta mar chuid de ghrúpa stiúrtha ar a bhfuil Comhairle Contae na Gaillimhe, Oifig na nOibreacha Poiblí, Fáilte Éireann agus an Roinn Ealaíon, Oidhreachta agus Gaeltachta.
