We are absolutely delighted to announce that one of our buildings on Dublin’s iconic Lower Mount Street has been approved for funding under Finance Minister Noonan’s innovative Built Heritage Investment Scheme. It’s a really terrific initiative that provides funding for conservation works to historically significant buildings and we’re over the moon that the very first Georgian building that we acquired in Dublin has been recognised as such.
These schemes are crucial to protecting the heritage and beauty of old cities and hopefully other countries will take note and follow suit.
Speaking today, Minister Noonan said:
“I am delighted to announce €4m investment in our built heritage through the Built Heritage Investment Scheme for 2022, which will assist the owners and custodians of 512 historic and protected structures across the country. The funding will allow for conservation works to our built heritage, to help safeguard it for future generations. These awards will provide an economic stimulus in all 31 local authorities, providing employment to small businesses, skilled conservation specialists and tradespeople, ensuring a continued focus on the traditional crafts – all of which help us to deliver on Heritage Ireland 2030, the new national heritage plan which I launched last month.”
A very big thank you to all those involved.
