The pages that fol- low detail the highlights of 2018 ranging from the launch of the Heritage Council’s Programme for the European Year of Cultural Heritage (EYCH) 2018 in January, to the retirement of Heritage Council Chief Executive, Michael Starrett, in December after twenty-two years in the post. As coordinator of EYCH 2018 in Ireland, the Heritage Council worked internally and collaboratively with a range of partners across the cultural institutions, local heritage organisations and community groups to achieve its vision for the year. This vision was to deepen the connection between people and heritage, and to build a legacy that would resonate beyond 2018. As well as working to develop its ongoing successful programmes such as Heritage in Schools, the Museum Standards Programme for Ireland, National Heritage Week and HeritageMaps.ie, the Heritage Council organised conferences and seminars, The Heritage Council| Annual Report 2018 2 oversaw new publications and coordinated a pro- gramme of events which would lay the foundations for a more empowered and connected heritage sector, better connected audiences, as well as WE WORK new policy initiatives. TO PROTECT One of the most significant events in 2018 was the launch of the Heritage Council’s new five- AND ENHANCE year Strategic Plan 2018-2022, Heritage at the Heart. The result of a lengthy consultation IRELAND’S process, ‘Heritage at the Heart’ is a relevant and forward-looking document with three strategic HERITAGE objectives at its core. During the lifetime of the plan, FOR THIS, the Heritage Council will focus on AND FUTURE 1. Advancing National Heritage Priorities 2. Nurturing Belonging through a Sense of Identity GENERATIONS and Place 3. Ensuring a Vibrant Heritage Sector The 2018 Annual Report is structured to reflect the ways in which the Heritage Council is addressing its newly-formulated strategic objectives. The imagery has been chosen to demonstrate the variety of initiatives and programmes coordinated by the Heritage Council, and to acknowledge the people and organisations that have worked in partnership with us in the interest of heritage in 2018. Sections 1 to 3 of this document introduce the Heritage Council Board and staff, provide an overview of what the Heritage Council does, and showcases the highlights and key achievements of 2018. Section 4 identifies the key actions under the first strategic objective - to advance national heritage piorities - and provides details of how the Heritage Council has worked to iniatiate these actions in 2018. Sections 5 and 6 follow the same pattern for the second and third strategic objectives. 3 The Heritage Council| Annual Report 2018 CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE Heritage includes our natural, built and cultural heritage. It provides every one of us with the opportunity to improve our understanding of where we live and what is worth conserving and promoting. In a world faced with environmental and existential challenges, heritage can help us seek answers to some of the challenges facing us. The Heritage Council has particular statutory responsibility to propose polices and priorities for the identification, protection, preservation and enhancement of Irish heritage. In 2018 the Heritage Council’s long-standing Chief Executive Michael Starrett announced his retirement. As Michael was the first Chief Executive, I wish to pay tribute to his outstanding work in establishing the Heritage Council from small and modest beginnings to the vibrant role it now plays. In 2018 the Heritage Council carried out extensive work in strengthening internal processes, ensuring that the organisational framework is robust and relevant to national governance and accountability protocols. The resulting internal reorganisation will support the Council in delivering its strategic objectives of accessibility and enjoyment of our national heritage in an ever more efficient and effective manner. The launch of our Strategic Plan 2018-2022, Heritage at the Heart by Josepha Madigan T.D. Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht was a defining highlight of the year. The development of the national heritage policy, Heritage Ireland 2030 provides a valuable context for implementation of Heritage at the Heart and the Heritage Council looks forward to continuing to work with departmental colleagues in this development.

    CASTLE STUDIES: RECENT PUBLICATIONS – 29 (2016) By Dr Gillian Scott with the assistance of Dr John R. Kenyon Introduction Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the CSG annual bibliography, this year containing over 150 references to keep us all busy. I must apologise for the delay in getting the bibliography to members. This volume covers publications up to mid- August of this year and is for the most part written as if to be published last year. Next year’s bibliography (No.30 2017) is already up and running. I seem to have come across several papers this year that could be viewed as on the periphery of our area of interest. For example the papers in the latest Ulster Journal of Archaeology on the forts of the Nine Years War, the various papers in the special edition of Architectural Heritage and Eric Johnson’s paper on moated sites in Medieval Archaeology. I have listed most of these even if inclusion stretches the definition of ‘Castle’ somewhat. It’s a hard thing to define anyway and I’m sure most of you will be interested in these papers. I apologise if you find my decisions regarding inclusion and non-inclusion a bit haphazard, particularly when it comes to the 17th century and so-called ‘Palace’ and ‘Fort’ sites. If these are your particular area of interest you might think that I have missed some items. If so, do let me know. In a similar vein I was contacted this year by Bruce Coplestone-Crow regarding several of his papers over the last few years that haven’t been included in the bibliography.

    Sustainable Management of Tourist Attractions in Ireland: the Development of a Generic Sustainable Management Checklist

    SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF TOURIST ATTRACTIONS IN IRELAND: THE DEVELOPMENT OF A GENERIC SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT CHECKLIST By Caroline Gildea Supervised by Dr. James Hanrahan A dissertation submitted to the School of Business and Humanities, Institute of Technology, Sligo in fulfilment of the requirements of a Master of Arts (Research) June 2012 1 Declaration Declaration of ownership: I declare that this thesis is all my own work and that all sources used have been acknowledged. Signed: Date: 2 Abstract This thesis centres on the analysis of the sustainable management of visitor attractions in Ireland and the development of a tool to aid attraction managers to becoming sustainable tourism businesses. Attractions can be the focal point of a destination and it is important that they are sustainably managed to maintain future business. Fáilte Ireland has written an overview of the attractions sector in Ireland and discussed how they would drive best practice in the sector. However, there have still not been any sustainable management guidelines from Fáilte Ireland for tourist attractions in Ireland. The principal aims of this research was to assess tourism attractions in terms of water, energy, waste/recycling, monitoring, training, transportation, biodiversity, social/cultural sustainable management and economic sustainable management. A sustainable management checklist was then developed to aid attraction managers to sustainability within their attractions, thus saving money and the environment. Findings from this research concluded that tourism attractions in Ireland are not sustainably managed and there are no guidelines, training or funding in place to support these attraction managers in the transition to sustainability. Managers of attractions are not aware or knowledgeable enough in the area of sustainability.

    Working Paper No. 386 May 2011 Does the housing market reflect cultural heritage? A case study of Greater Dublin Mirko Moro*, Karen Mayor**, Seán Lyons***, Richard S.J. Tol**** Abstract: Does the housing market reflect cultural heritage? We estimate several specifications of a hedonic price equation to establish whether distance to cultural heritage site is capitalised into housing prices in Greater Dublin, Ireland. The results show that distance to the nearest historic building has a significant and robust effect on housing prices. To our knowledge this is the first application of the hedonic price method to cultural heritage.
