Heritage Ireland 2030, the new national heritage policy, will be launched in Q4 of 2021.

Heritage Ireland 2030 will provide a strategy for the protection, conservation, promotion and management of Ireland’s heritage for the next decade and beyond. The plan has been drafted against the backdrop of increasing challenges - including those stemming from land-use change, climate change, biodiversity loss and dereliction. In particular, the COVID-19 crisis has underscored the importance of individual and societal well-being and Heritage Ireland 2030 will recognise the important role that heritage plays in these, and in the sustainable development of the country.
