Labour TD for Dublin Bay North Sean Kenny has welcomed the launch of the Battle of Clontarf Heritage Trail, which was launched recently.

"The Trail will form a key part of the 2014 Battle of Clontarf Commemoration at Easter and will also continue to be an attraction for Clontarf in the future. The trail comprises of six information panels approximately every 0.5km between the Alfie Byrne Road and the Wooden Bridge."

"These panels, which are magnificent in their own right, outline the story of the Vikings, Brian Ború and of course the Battle of Clontarf. The six boards outline the story of The Vikings, Brian Ború and the Battle of Clontarf in word, map and illustration in English & Irish. The Boards also have a section on Local History and a map highlighting items of interest along the way. All of this is now also part of the National Brian Ború Trail."

"It is exciting that this Heritage Trail will create a focal point that currently doesn't exist in Clontarf. Those who have been involved in this programme of events are deserving of high praise, as it has been assembled by community and voluntary organisations working alongside the local authorities."
