SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN/PALMERSTOWN/NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, May 25, 2021

QUESTION NO. 11

QUESTION: Councillor Alan Hayes

To ask the Chief Executive if South Dublin County Council applied for funding under the recently awarded protected structures fund and if the Millrace in Waterstown Park formed part of this application as it is still in need of attention in parts.

REPLY:

The Built Heritage Investment Scheme (BHIS) and the Historic Structures Fund (HSF) 2021 are funding schemes supported by the DHLGH for Protected Structures and administered by the Councils Architectural Conservation Officer on behalf of SDCC. 

No applications were submitted for any Council owned sites under the 2021 schemes; however, 6 applications were approved for funding for private owned Protected Structures under BHIS 2021.  The Millrace in Waterstown Park will not qualify for funding under BHIS or HSF as it is not listed under Schedule 2, Record of Protected Structures.
