QUESTION NO.21

QUESTION: Councillor S. Moynihan

To ask the Chief Executive if the Council made an application for a grant award under the Community Monuments Fund and if not, why not.

REPLY:

An application was prepared by the Economic, Enterprise and Tourism Development, SDCC to seek funding under the Community Monument Fund 2024.  The application was submitted to the Councils Architectural Conservation Officer who appraised and submitted the CMF application to the Department.  Grant funding was sought under CMF 2024 Stream 2 for the development of a Conservation Management Plan, which will allow identifying measures for conservation repair and works to the Hellfire Club (protected structure), as part of the wider Dublin Mountains Visitor Centre Project. 

The application was successful, and the Department have awarded €30,000 to SDCC for this project.  EETD and the Architectural Conservation Section, LUPT will continue to liaise on this project under the conditions set by the Department.
