Information sessions on Heritage Ireland 2030 input
The sessions are organised by the Heritage Office of Kildare County Council and will run from 4.30pm to 8pm.
Heritage Office staff will be on hand to assist communities and individuals in making submissions on the plan, which will address built, natural and archaeological heritage.
If anyone has a specific issue they'd like to clarify, or if they're not sure how to write their submission, the Heritage Office is available to help in any way it can. "We can’t guarantee we will have all the answers but if we work together we can make sure the final plan is as strong as it can be for communities and for our shared heritage," a spokesperson says.
For groups involved in the management and protection of heritage at grassroots, this is a direct opportunity to make their views known to central Government. It is also a chance to convey the importance of heritage to local communities across Ireland, and generate a large volume of submissions on the plan.
Submissions can be made in three ways. An online survey is available here. The Department can also be emailed at heritageireland2030@chg.gov.ie. And submission may be made by post to Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Custom House Dublin 1, D01 W6XO. The closing date for submissions is 28 February 2019
The brochure on the initiative, prepared by the Department is available here.
If anyone is wondering about the importance of local involvement in preserving heritage, this piece by Nessa Dunlea, noted on the Diary in 2005, is worth a read.
