Valuing our heritage

Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2006 / July 04

Any recognition by Government of the importance of our architectural heritage deserves to be welcomed. For too long, officials and ministers have turned a blind eye to the neglect and destruction of grand properties. And while the formal establishment of an Irish Heritage Trust by Minister for the Environment Dick Roche is unlikely to transform that situation, it may mark the beginning of a more enlightened approach to the conservation of endangered heritage houses and the provision of public access.
