About Us

The La Touche Legacy was founded in 1988 by the late Com. Jim Brennan TC, the late Joe Hayes – Head of Wicklow Libraries and  George Jones.
Some of the main reasons for the development of the La Touche Legacy include the following:

  • To give recognition to the contribution of the La Touche Family to Ireland and Greystones/Delgany.
  • To promote and develop all historical aspects of the town and where possible to promote same.
  • To act as a forum for the development of the town
  • To enhance and develop the commercial business of the town
  • To host an annual conference that is of national interest with delegates from all over the country.  A panel of distinguished speakers from the world of business, trade unions and local authorites speak on different themes each year.  In addition a friendly invitation is extended to all members of the local community to attend the talks & lectures at a nominal charge (€30 all weekend).
  • To promote local groups and associations through financial support, mentoring and networking opportunities
