SCHEME OF GRANTS FOR CONSERVATION WORKS ON

PROTECTED STRUCTURES 2010

Applications are invited for consideration under the Scheme of Grants for Conservation Works on Protected Structures 2010 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.  The scheme is not intended to assist in carrying out routine maintenance, alterations or improvements and does not apply to works begun before commencement of this scheme.

 On receipt of notification of funding being made available, from the Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government, applications will be assessed on a prioritised basis 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.
