Tionscadail Dheich mBliana na gCuimhneachán

Faoi stiúir Rannóg Cultúir na Roinne Turasóireachta, Cultúir, Ealaíon, Gaeltachta, Spóirt agus Meán, ghlac an clár seo le cur chuige cuimsitheach i leith tréimhse (inar cailleadh os cionn 36,000 duine) agus trí úsáid a bhaint as foinsí cartlainne traidisiúnta agus foinsí cartlainne a eisíodh le déanaí, thug an tionscnamh peirspictíochtaí nua ar stair réabhlóideach chasta na hÉireann, agus sonraíodh scéalta stairiúla éagsúla a bhí ag teacht salach ar a chéile uaireanta.

Anseo cuirimid i láthair tionscadail le haghaidh Deich mBliana na gCéad Bliain arna gcur i gcrích ag Leabharlanna, Músaem agus Cartlanna Luimnigh
