Heritage is described by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) as “our legacy from the past, what we live with today and what we pass on to future generations”. Ireland is a country rich in heritage and culture and has long recognised the importance of preserving this for future generations. Our Irish culture and heritage has created the spirit and identity of our people throughout the world and makes us what we are today with our distinctive characteristics. WORLD HERITAGE AND IRELAND Ireland signed the UNESCO World Heritage Convention in 1991. This brings with it both opportunities and obligations; Ireland as the “State Party” commits to nominating examples of exceptional heritage sites to the World Heritage List and to manage and protect these sites sustainably into the future. A World Heritage Site is a property that has been inscribed onto the World Heritage List by the World Heritage Committee of UNESCO. Properties can be either of cultural or natural significance or a combination of the two (mixed). Cultural heritage refers to monuments, groups of buildings and sites with historical, aesthetic, archaeological, scientific, ethnological or anthropological value.

Just prior to my release from Frongoch, two organisations called "The Irish National Aid Association" and "The Irish Volunteers' Dependents' Fund" had been launched in Dublin and elsewhere for the purpose of collecting funds to help the dependents of Volunteers interned in Frongoch and elsewhere. Those two organisations were amalgamated a short time later and eventually became "The Irish White Cross". Immediately after my release, with the help of the other Volunteers in Dunboyne, I organised collections in the area for the Fund. From this Fund, the Volunteers still interned or in Jail received gifts of cigarettes, tobacco and money to buy certain essentials. Their dependents also received gifts of money in necessitous cases. At the same time, I got most of the Dunboyne Volunteers together again. A few of the original members dropped out. We now had about twelve active men, ready and willing to continue the struggle for freedom. Of those twelve men I would say nine were members of the Irish Republican Brotherhood or Dunboyne Circle. I was the Centre of Dunboyne Circle and got in touch with members of the Leinster and Supreme Councils in Dublin who had been released or who had not been arrested.

Knowth Dowth Newgrange Visitor Centre Brú na Bóinne World Heritage Site Map showing the position of the monuments within the bend in the Boyne Brú na Bóinne Archaeological Complex Brú na Bóinne is about eight kilometres inland from Drogheda and describes an area where the river Boyne meanders into a dramatic loop or bend. Brú na Bóinne - The palace or mansion of the Boyne- is the name given to one of the world’s most important archaeological landscapes. Today about forty mounds can be seen within the complex, dominated by the three great passage tombs of Knowth, Dowth and Newgrange. In recognition of the international importance of this archaeological landscape, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), has designated the Brú na Bóinne area a World Heritage Site. Sites selected for World Heritage listing are deemed to be of outstanding universal value to humanity and are approved on the basis of their merits as the best possible examples of cultural or natural heritage. The passage tombs, associated monuments and Visitor Centre at Brú na Bóinne are in the care of the Office of Public Works. Most of the information we have on the monuments at Brú na Bóinne is as a direct result of archaeological investigation.
