The IHBC is delighted to announce a new speaker to the 2018 School’s already distinguished list for the Day School on 22 June in Belfast, as Ian Doyle, Head of Conservation with Ireland’s Heritage Council – the country’s statutory agency for Ireland’s heritage policy – will engage delegates on ‘Transforming heritage care in Ireland: The Heritage Council and local authorities in the 21st century‘.
IHBC Northern Ireland Branch Chair Andrew McClelland, and Director Seán O’Reilly, said ‘We are especially delighted that Ian can add his unique perspective from Ireland’s evolving conservation systems to our overarching theme of transformational approaches to heritage caring and sharing.’
‘His special focus and take on the work of local authorities in Ireland is a hugely relevant addition to the local, national and international perspectives that 2018 School delegates, sponsors, speakers can take away from one or all of these very special days.’
‘And of course as the main theme for the European Year of Cultural Heritage 2018 (EYCH 2018) in Ireland is ‘Make a Connection‘ – by joining the IHBC’s School programme, Ireland’s Heritage Council is sharing its own strong connection to the IHBC School’s EYCH 2018-supported theme of ‘Shared heritage’.
The IHBC writes:
