Laois Heritage Forum

The Laois Heritage Forum is a partnership body, drawn from a range of organisations with an interest in protecting and developing the heritage of County Laois, to advise on the preparation and implementation of the County Laois Heritage Plan.

The first Heritage Plan for Laois was adopted in 2002. The current plan, which was adopted by Laois County Council in December 2006, will run from 2007 - 2011. A third Heritage Plan for County Laois will be prepared through 2011, to start implementation in 2012.
