11 Parnell Square East, Dublin

The Irish Heritage Trust and Poetry Ireland officially re-opened this historic Georgian building in the heart of Dublin following a major conservation-led restoration.

Led by architects McCullough Mulvin, the €5.5 million restoration carefully conserved and adapted No.11 for a new future as a shared headquarters for the Irish Heritage Trust, Poetry Ireland and the Irish Landmark Trust.

As the Irish Heritage Trust celebrates its twentieth anniversary in 2026, the reopening of No.11 marks an important moment in the organisation’s ongoing work to conserve, manage and sustainably develop Ireland’s built heritage while strengthening connections between people, place and culture.
