OUR SPEAKERS

JONATHAN MACNAUGHTON
Jonathan is a farmer in County Meath who, along with his family, has restored a stable yard and overhead grain store/loft to their former glory. The courtyard at the farm, which is a mixed beef and tillage enterprise, dates back to the late 18th century and is shown on the first edition of the Ordnance Survey map. The stable yard is adjoining the basement section of a Norman Castle, and the buildings were used as a coach man’s residence, the storage of the coach and stables for horses.

ANNA MEENAN
Anna is Project Manager of the Traditional Farm Buildings Grant Scheme at the Heritage Council since 2008. Prior to this she was the Assistant Conservation Officer for Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council. She also was engaged as Built Heritage Officer for Mourne Heritage Trust and as Conservation Officer for Waterford County Council.

DONNA MULLEN
Chair of Green Foundation Ireland, Donna is an environmentalist and works as an ecologist, drawing up nature trails and sustainability plans. Her work involves spending many happy hours surveying buildings for bats, and she helped draw up the guidelines on bat surveys for the Heritage Council (Traditional Farm Building Scheme). She is a founder member of both Bat Conservation Ireland and the Irish Environmental Network, and has also served on the board of the Irish Wildlife Trust.
