This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 4.0 License Recognising Food as part of Ireland’s Intangible Cultural Heritage Abstract Drawing on evidence from across a range of disciplines (literature, folklore, history, sociology etc.) this paper explores the lack of an iconic link between Ireland and food, explaining the reasons why Ireland and food are not immediately linked in the popular imagination. It argues for recognition of foodways as a significant element in Ireland’s intangible cultural heritage. It highlights and interrogates constructs such as ‘national’ and ‘regional’ cuisines, charting the growing scholarship around Irish food history from the ground breaking work of A.T. Lucas and Louis Cullen to a recent emerging cluster of doctoral researchers.

Content may be reproduced and disseminated, as long as it is attributed to the original source. European Legislation on Protection of Geographical Indications Overview of the EU Member States’ Legal Framework for Protection of Geographical Indications Compiled by Irina Kireeva Translation revision by Wang Xiaobing 2 This publication takes the form of a summary overview for each EU Member State on the protection of Geographical Indications (GIs), including history of protection, the legal and regulatory framework, competent authorities involved, official controls and examples of prominent products. It is undertaken in the framework of the EU-China IPR2 Project. Since its launch in 2007, IPR2 has developed a series of capacity building activities on Geographical Indications (GIs) in China to support Chinese and European stakeholders with references on GI best practice and experience. IPR2 is a partnership project between the European Union and the People‟s Republic of China on the protection of intellectual property rights in China. This is done by providing technical support to, and building the capacity of the Chinese legislative, judicial and administrative authorities in administering and enforcing intellectual property rights; improving access to information for users and officials; as well as reinforcing support to right holders.
