Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2002 / April 18 2002: Plan will stress the need for quality architecture

Architectural quality is to become one of the key criteria for publicly funded construction projects under an action programme published last night by the Minister for Arts and Heritage, Ms de Valera. The programme, "Action on Architecture", fleshes out a Government policy document adopted by the Rainbow Coalition before it left office in 1997, which included a commitment to promote high standards of design and construction. According to Ms de Valera, the new action programme marks a significant step in advancing the 1997 policy statement, though she concedes that achieving its objectives will be a long-term task.
