The Heritage Council was established as a statutory body under the Heritage Act, 1995. It takes an integrated approach to heritage, with responsibilities that include both its cultural and natural aspects. The Heritage Act provides a definition of ‘heritage’ - and its breadth is truly comprehensive.
Charity Reg no: 20036867
It includes monuments, archaeological objects, art and industrial works, documents and genealogical records, architectural heritage, flora, fauna, wildlife habitats, landscapes, seascapes, wrecks, geology, heritage gardens, parks and inland waterways.
The mission of the Heritage Council is governed by the Heritage Act 1995 which requires the Council to propose policies and priorities for the identification, protection, preservation and enhancement of the national heritage.

*Promoting interest, education, knowledge, pride
and care of our national heritage and supporting
appreciation and enjoyment of our heritage
*Co-operating with public authorities, education
bodies and others in the promotion of its functions
*Advancing the co-ordination of all activities related to
the functions of the Council
The Heritage Council aims to ensure that our heritage is managed and conserved to enrich the lives of people now and for the future. We will continue to promote and nurture our heritage as a source of personal, community and national well-being.
