A National Trust

Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2003 / September 9 2003: A National Trust

The Taoiseach's weekend promise of new legislation for a National Trust to safeguard the future of Ireland's remaining great houses must be welcomed. It is long overdue. This State is one of only four in Europe without such an institution to look after significant elements of its architectural heritage. It must now be decided how a trust should be established - whether by setting up a new body or by giving statutory recognition to the property-owning wing of An Taisce.
