The aim of the Society's founders in 1731 was to improve Ireland's economic condition by promoting the development of Agriculture, Arts, Science and Industry. The Council has delegated pursuit of the Foundation objectives to five Standing Committees: Agriculture & Rural Affairs; Science & Technology; Arts; Equestrian and Industry & Commerce. A sixth Standing Committee, Membership Affairs, has the brief to develop membership facilities and involvement. The Society's Council oversees all these activities.
