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 Plans

In this section you will find County Heritage Plans outlining strategies for promoting and protecting local and regional heritage. County Heritage Plans highlight the strategic importance of heritage and each plan outlines proposals for managing and promoting heritage at a county level.

Meath Heritage Plan

This plan sets out 77 achievable and realistic actions which need to be taken to protect, manage and conserve our heritage. The plan seeks to complement the work of the many agencies, organisations and individuals already.
