SCHEME OF GRANTS FOR CONSERVATION WORKS ON
PROTECTED STRUCTURES 2009
Applications are invited for consideration under the Scheme of Grants for Conservation Works on Protected Structures 2009 to assist owners and occupiers to carry out conservation works on protected structures. The scheme is part of a package of measures introduced by the Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government to strengthen the protection of the architectural heritage.
Under the scheme, a wide range of conservation works will qualify for grants, generally amounting to 50% of the cost of works up to maximum of €13,000, or an amount of €25,000 in exceptional circumstances. Works consisting of routine maintenance or improvements will not qualify under the scheme.
Applications will be prioritised in accordance with the scheme, and grants if approved, paid from an allocation by the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to the Council for this purpose.
The closing date for receipt of grant applications in the South Dublin County Council area is 4.00 p.m. on Friday 6th February, 2009
