The Heritage Council was established in July, 1995, under the Heritage Act, 1995 to 'propose policies and priorities for the identification, protection, preservation and enhancement of the national heritage.' I have no direct function in relation to grants schemes, including the Wildlife Grant Scheme, administered by the Council and any enquiry in regard to a specific grant should be made directly to the Council itself (Rothe House, Kilkenny or tel. 056 7770777).
