Conservation and cultural organisation in Ireland

The Irish Heritage Trust is an architectural and cultural organisation which aims to preserve, maintain and understand notable Irish buildings for the purposes of education, research and recreation. The organisation was founded in 2006 as Ireland's national, independent, heritage property organisation in a similar model to that of the National Trust in the U.K.[1][2]
