Heritage Council
Content
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.
Irish Walled Towns Network Fund
This is a nationally coordinated programme in which the participating walled Towns located within the north and south of Ireland holds an event of heritage themed activities on the same day in each location. The rationale for the event is to increase awareness and enjoyment of Irelands unique ‘heritage product’ to visitors and residents, with a particular emphasis on towns which have historic town walls or fortifications or where it is evident that town walls in the past have helped to create unique historic town fabric/settlement pattern, a unique ‘sense of place’ and upstanding monuments for visitors to explore and interpret all events are medieval in nature.
The grant scheme is open to members of the Irish Walled Towns Network only.
Applications must be made using the Heritage Council Online Grants Application System before 5.00 p.m. on Friday 21st May 2010.
