Mr. Tom O'Neill is the heritage officer for County Limerick.

Deputy Carey referred to themes. There are three main themes in the context of the Heritage Ireland 2030 project. The first is that of national leadership to provide an overall national heritage policy direction reflecting commentary in recent years and the strong need for leadership by Government in the heritage area. The second is the need for organisations and communities to work better in partnership to manage, protect and conserve the heritage. The third relates to the importance of communities and supporting local people in caring for heritage in their areas. The plan also seeks to empower local authorities and communities in the increasingly important role that they play in protecting and managing heritage for the enjoyment and benefit of all.
