The 32 members of Clare County Council are expected to back a proposal today to have the Burren included as a World Heritage Site, reports the Irish Times.Currently, there are only two Irish heritage sites on the prestigious Unesco World Heritage List: Brú na Bóinne in Co Meath and Skellig Michael off the Co Kerry coast.
In a report to go before the council, acting council senior planner John Bradley states that the Burren "has the requisite designations and potential to meet the stringent requirements of Unesco World Heritage status".
