Winter Solstice, Newgrange

21 December 2023

A team of Meath Civil Defence volunteers were out early this morning providing ambulance and medical cover for the annual winter solstice at Newgrange monument. The sun made a valiant effort to oblige but the live stream commentary was excellent.

Well done to all involved.
