PSA if you've been thinking of visiting any of these sites.

Did you know that on the first Wednesday of every month, you can get free admission into nearly 40 heritage sites all around Ireland? No, we didn't either, but it's true. The Office of Public Works (OPW) tweeted to remind people of this monthly deal, something people heading on staycations should make note of. https://twitter.com/opwireland/status/1543867276826492929?s=20&t=OgYp0gcj5uYlnqBXwS30oA So what heritage sites in Ireland are free the first Wednesday of every month?
