The Heritage Council has today (15.01.18) issued a call for funding applications under its Community Heritage Grant Scheme. To mark the European Year of Cultural Heritage 2018 (EYCH), this year’s scheme focuses on the theme ‘Make a Connection’, encouraging communities throughout Ireland to build heritage connections that will last beyond 2018.

The European Year of Cultural Heritage 2018 is a European initiative, designed to put a spotlight on Europe’s wealth of cultural heritage, and to involve all citizens in events that promote a sense of belonging to a shared European space.
