AGM 2016: Save the date

The conference will take place on 6th, 7th and 8th October in Dublin Castle.

The conference will be held in the year of the 100th Anniversary of the Easter Rising in Ireland in 1916, one of the pivotal events in modern Irish history, on 6th, 7th and 8th October in Dublin Castle.

The theme, “Conflict, Memorialization = Reconciliation” is appropriate to both the 1916 anniversary and to our hosts Glasnevin Trust.

Delegates will be able to experience the full splendour of Glasnevin Cemetery – Irelands National Cemetery, containing within its walls all the key players in the foundation of modern Ireland.

The conference will be of special interest as it addresses the sustainability of cemeteries in new innovative ways – through Europe’s largest cemetery restoration, state of the art museum telling the stories of the dead, and engaging education programme.

Registration for this event will start shortly.

Look out for further announcements and be sure not to miss what promises to be a very special conference in the ASCE calendar.

Heritage Week at Glasnevin Cemetery Museum

It is not unusual to see dedicated Joyceans make the annual trip to Glasnevin Cemetery in hired horse-drawn carriages; some even rent a hearse for full authenticity.
