In July 2003 Dublin City Council in partnership with The Heritage Council commissioned the preparation of a Conservation Plan for the Dublin City Walls and Defences as an action of the Dublin City Heritage Plan.

The Conservation Plan was prepared by the lead consultants Margaret Gowen & Co. Ltd, Archaeological Consultants, with the Integrated Conservation Group (Carrig Conservation International, Consarc and Lisa Edden, Structural Engineer) and RPS McHugh.

The Plan was commissioned to address a range of concerns in respect of the preservation, conservation, management and presentation of both above ground and below ground remains of one of the city’s most important, but poorly preserved and presented, historic civic monuments.

The Plan is available to view here (PDF 6.4MB).
