One of the continuing key priorities for my Department is the conservation and management Ireland’s unique heritage for the benefit of present and future generations, as a support to economic renewal and sustainable employment and in compliance with legal obligations.
I fully recognise the significant contribution that Ireland’s built and natural heritage make to national health, wellbeing, enjoyment and sustainable economic growth. I will continue to work to ensure that Ireland has a suite of heritage policies and legislation in place to meet modern requirements, in compliance with EU and international heritage obligations, and to achieve their effective implementation within available resources.
