Council remains flexible and innovative in its approach and retains its basic instinct to achieve through partnership. The examples listed can only scratch the surface of what is happening in the ‘heritage world’ but they do provide a feel for the ongoing emphasis on Michael Starrett this modus operandi. It is I hope one which is contagious and will afflict others, breaking down Chief Executive the barriers which prevent a very accessible and open approach to the development and management of our heritage Our grants programme remains a priority, and also remains very heavily over subscribed. The programme is, to the public, probably the most tangible evidence of the manner in which Council can help secure benefits for our national heritage. The programme also helps inform policy development and proposals; the information it provides is reflected in this less tangible work, seeking to place heritage more firmly on the decision making ladder and to have its significance recognised at all levels. To help it achieve this objective, in 2005 Council initiated work to assess the economic value attached to our heritage. Results are due in autumn 2006. The Heritage Council 2005 Annual Report 5 The Heritage Council 2005 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’. National heritage is defined in the Act as including: monuments landscapes archaeological objects seascapes heritage objects wrecks architectural heritage geology flora heritage gardens and parks fauna inland waterways wildlife habitats In particular, the Heritage Act, 1995, charges the Heritage Council with the responsibility to: – promote interest, education, knowledge and pride in, and facilitate the appreciation and enjoyment of the national heritage; – cooperate with other bodies in the promotion of its functions; and – promote the coordination of all activities relating to its functions.
