- History
A big welcome to the Heritage Council podcast and a theme that we are embracing for this series in 2021 is “inclusive heritage”
This will involve a broad overview of the multi-layered experiences which encompass Ireland’s past, and will also put into context how this sense of heritage is all part of our collective experience, and why so much of what went before, still resonates in the present.
Thank you for listening!

What is heritage?
It’s the culmination of our shared experiences over the millennia; it’s the who we are and where we’ve come from.

It’s the habitat and wonders of the natural world all about us.
Over the past 16 years, National Heritage Week has been a focal point, bringing together communities and people across the country and is now one of the most significant dates in Ireland’s cultural calendar. -
