The Irish Georgian Society is Ireland's Architectural Heritage Society which aims to encourage an interest in and to promote the conservation of distinguished examples of architecture and the allied arts of all periods in Ireland. The Society was founded in 1958 by the Hon. Desmond Guinness and his late wife Mariga. Since that time many buildings of significant architectural merit have been saved through their work and the work of members and supporters.
During the first 50 years of its existence it has had many notable achievements among these, the saving of threatened great buildings such as Castletown, County Kildare; Damer House, County Tipperary; Doneraile Court, County Cork; Roundwood, Co. Laois; Tailors’ Hall, Dublin and 13 Henrietta Street, Dublin.
The current President of the Society is Desmond FitzGerald, 29th Knight of Glin who will provide insights into this interesting society and its work, including past, recent and current projects.
