17/06/2015
Dé Céadaoin, 17 Meitheamh 2015—D'fhógair an tAire Ealaíon, Oidhreachta agus Gaeltachta, Heather Mhic Unfraidh, TD, inniu go bhfuil ábhar nua-nochta á aisghabháil ó bháid bhriste de chuid Armáid na Spáinne amuigh ó chósta na Srithidí i gCo. Shligigh ag Seirbhís na Séadchomharthaí Náisiúnta ina Roinn, agus go ndéanfaidh Ard-Mhúsaem na hÉireann é a chaomhnú. Tá an tAire Mhic Unfraidh ag tabhairt cuairte ar an suíomh tumadóireachta maidin inniu, áit a bhfuil baill d'Aonad Seandálaíochta Faoi Uisce a Roinne ag aisghabháil ábhar ón bhliain 1588, nuair a chuaigh trí shoitheach de chuid Armáid na Spáinne go tóinn poill amuigh ó chósta Shligigh. Creidtear gur nochtadh an t-ábhar mar thoradh ar na stoirmeacha móra a tharla amuigh ó chósta an Iarthair le dhá bhliain anuas.
