Our mission is ‘to make the past, present’, but what does that actually mean? To us, it means that we want to help to advocate for the importance and value of Ireland’s archaeological, built, cultural, natural and intangible heritage. We want to make heritage accessible to people by helping them to discover the wonderful stories that can be found around almost every corner of the island, and we want to empower communities to be able to celebrate and protect their own local monuments and stories. This not only provides opportunities for education, but also for sustainable heritage tourism.
