Our Partners​

The Heritage Council

 

Established under The Heritage Act 1995, the Heritage Council is a public body whose mission is to develop a wide understanding of the vital contribution that our heritage makes to our social, environmental and economic well-being.

Our heritage is all around us. It includes our landscapes, countryside, rivers and lakes, our archaeological sites, our buildings, our history, folklore, language and customs. It’s what makes our places special. Heritage gives a place its identity, its character, its distinctiveness. As we plan for our own futures, we must also plan for the future of our heritage. Wise planning will ensure that the best elements of this heritage — those that enhance our communities and enrich our lives — will be passed from generation to generation. In doing so, we will also ensure that our local areas and communities are good places in which to live and work.

In 2026 Historic Houses of Ireland was awarded the maximum amount in the Heritage Organisations Support Fund.

National Built Heritage Service

The National Built Heritage Service’s key areas of responsibility are to develop, promote and implement policies and legislation for the protection of architectural heritage and to promote best practice in modern architecture & urban design.

The key objectives are to:

• provide a policy, legislative and administrative framework to protect architectural heritage as a national resource
• promote increased public awareness and appreciation of architecture and our national built heritage
• ensure the sustainable management of our built heritage resources

In 2026, the National Built Heritage Scheme awarded funding to Historic Houses of Ireland members under their "Designed Landscapes and Historic Gardens" scheme for four member events across the country.
