Directorate

The Discovery Programme is governed by a nine-person Directorate (Board of Directors - nominated in part by the Heritage Council) and by the Council. The latter body consists of representatives of almost all the public institutions on the island of Ireland (Northern Ireland and the Republic) involved in archaeological research. The Chairman of the Discovery Programme (currently Prof. Terence Barry), who chairs both the Directorate and the Council, is appointed by the Heritage Council with the approval of the government minister responsible for heritage matters, currently the Minister of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government.
