Amharc ar fhreagraThe Heritage Council was established in July, 1995, under the Heritage Act, 1995 to ‘propose policies and priorities for the identification, protection, preservation and enhancement of the national heritage.' I have no direct function in relation to grants schemes, including the Wildlife Grant Scheme, administered by the Council and any enquiry in regard to a specific grant should be made directly to the Council itself (Rothe House, Kilkenny or tel. 056 7770777).
