CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE The year 2009 in an Irish context will not be remembered for its positive contribution to our economic, social or environmental well being. Our economy has been under pressure, our environment has been under pressure, and our society has been under pressure. Sustainability has always been a difficult concept to explain but has been made much easier by the fact that we are now all acutely aware of what unsustainability means and what its consequences are. In offering solutions to our current crisis it is hugely significant that a number of leading commentators have focused on the intrinsic and extrinsic values of natural and cultural heritage and the role that they can play in social healing and sustainable economic recovery. However, cultural and natural heritage are not only co-dependent and fragile resources, they are also in need of remediation from under-funding and overexploitation. So, if we are to realise their true potential to contribute to quality of life, including generating sustainable employment, we need to manage them in an inclusive, informed and thoughtful way. In presenting the Heritage Council’s Annual Report I am pleased to report on the transformation that has taken place in the manner in which we have carried out our work this year. Placing even greater emphasis on the co-dependency of nature and culture, we have cast our net to a wider public and provided a service that is more streamlined and yet even more relevant and beneficial to those who use it. The financial resources at our disposal may have been reduced but Council and its staff has remained steadfastly committed to their efficient and effective use within our new and challenging framework. I look forward with optimism to Council continuing its work of increasing public participation in the decision making processes as they relate to our National Heritage.
