Environmental sustainability is part of every stage of heritage conservation projects at our properties.
We're currently protecting the Brown Long-eared Bats at a @fotahouse roof project. 🦇

Nothing Compares 2 U. Heart broken hearing the news of the passing of Sinéad O’Connor, such an inspiration

We are delighted that @ESBGroup has today announced plans to partner with the Irish Heritage Trust to develop No. 12 Fitzwilliam Street Lower as a museum. This is an exciting opportunity to bring a heritage property to life in Dublin’s South Georgian core. 1/2
Delighted I got to dust off my paintbrushes this afternoon & attend the first of four workshops @strokestownpark on the art of petrykivka painting with Ukrainian artist-in-residence Olena Kovalevych. A beautifully intricate art form that is not easy to master 😅
Always exciting when I get to work with artists & bring new exhibitions to our @IrHeritageTrust properties. Here’s a sneak peek from the install of Joe McCaul’s large-scale ceramic sculpture exhibition, The Potato People, opening this week @strokestownpark.

Plan a visit @MuseumWeek!

So pleased I got to see ‘In the Midst of Plenty’ in the @mullingarartsc tonight. A really powerful & evocative portrayal of the Great Irish Famine told through the lens of the stories behind @strokestownpark & @famineway. The standing ovation was so well deserved 👏
‘In the Midst of Plenty’ is a new contemporary folk musical from Enchanted Croi Theatre touring Ireland in May, June, and July. Premiering at the @mullingarartsc May 25 and touring to Cavan, @backstageIRL @THTG @HawksWellSligo @watersidetheatr +more.
What an absolute treat to be shown around @NewbridgeHF by @CathalDS today.
A truly impressive collection that is combined with thoughtful touches of well-placed interpretation.

“One of the pleasures of reading House and Home in Georgian Ireland, is the richness of detail which each author of this collected volume commits to its pages.” fourcourtspress.ie/books/202… @ConorLucey70 @ClaudiaKinmont1 @thestreetfront @HistIreHedge @iaphistorians @IrishGeorgian
Just booked and can’t wait to attend the #Petrykivka painting workshops in @strokestownpark this summer. A fantastic opportunity to learn a unique style of ornamental painting recognised by Unesco. Roll on July!
Strokestown Park is delighted to host a course of #Petrykivka folk-art style Workshops by our Artist in Residence, Olena Kovalevych this July.
Come learn from Olena this highly decorative and traditional art style.
Spaces are limited. Tickets & Info:

The melodies and stories thoughtfully woven through ‘In The Midst of Plenty’ are the merging of archive material from the collection @strokestownpark with music and a powerful human story from the height of the #GreatFamine.

The #IrishHeritageTrust 10-year strategy was launched today by Minister Malcolm Noonan in the historic rooms of 11 Parnell Square, one of the square’s largest and oldest houses dating to c.1753. Major plans are afoot to conserve this eclectic pile to host cultural heritage bodies

It was a real pleasure to visit No. 11 Parnell Square this morning for the launch of The Irish Heritage Trust's 10-year strategy, a plan that aims to secure the future sustainability of Ireland’s built and natural heritage. 👇
To all our colleagues, collaborators and friends who joined us today for our strategy launch, we say thank you🙏

As one of the first townhouses built on Dublin’s first Georgian Sq, No. 11 Parnell Sq is a historically significant 250 year old building that has many layers of history & a rich tapestry of stories to tell. Delighted to share some of these stories with Minister @noonan_malcolm
