AVEA February Member Forum at Malahide Castle

Almost 80 members attended the AVEA Spring Forum, on a lovely sunny day in Malahide.

We had presentations from Ciarán Staunton of Fingal County Council on the partnership between local authority and visitor attraction; from solicitor Marcus Lynch on the implications of recent employment legislation; and from Eoghan O’Mara Walsh, CEO of ITIC, who gave us a seasonal outlook.

Following a delicious lunch in the vaulted Nugent’s Hall, we had a superb tour of the Castle with curator and collections manager, Cathal Dowd Smith. Sincere thanks to Pauline, Julie-Anne, and all the team for the warm welcome.
