Heritage Council

The Heritage Council seeks to protect and enhance the richness, quality and diversity of our national heritage for everyone. It works with its partners to increase awareness of our national heritage.

Heritage Week: 21-29 August

New Heritage Week website

The Heritage Council has launched a brand new National Heritage Week website! The site features our fresh new branding, lots of interactive features such as a graphic suite download, an event organiser toolkit as well as tips on marketing, PR and event management. Click here view website.

We'll be developing lots more content over the coming months and our very first Irish History Podcast will be published online soon.

We’d love to hear your feedback

Let us know what you think about National Heritage Week's new look and if you have any suggestions as to what you’d like to see on the site via our National Heritage Week Face Book page.
