Dublin City Strategic Heritage Plan 2024-2029

The Dublin City Strategic Heritage Plan 2024-2029 sets out Dublin City Council’s goals and priorities for heritage over the next five years. The plan acknowledges that many departments and sections within Dublin City Council are actively engaged in the management and interpretation of the city’s archaeological, architectural and cultural heritage. While overall coordination of the Strategic Heritage Plan rests with the Heritage Officer, this is a city-wide plan. The goals and objectives identified in the plan are the outcomes of extensive consultation with state agencies, public bodies, universities, NGOs, and special interest groups; we hope that the plan reflects their concerns and aspirations and that it will be a catalyst for future partnerships and collaborations. The plan emerged following extensive consultation with three expert working groups for archaeology, built heritage and cultural heritage. The plan is complemented by a Dublin City Heritage Plan Highlights 2002 - 2021, which showcases some of the key achievements delivered through the auspices of the Heritage Plan. Two documents providing an intensive review of archaeology and architectural heritage project delivered under the auspices of the Heritage Plan down to 2012 are also provided below. In each case these projects will have received grant support from the Heritage Council’s County Heritage Plan grant scheme, the Irish Walled Towns Network, and the Government Policy on Architecture.
