Funding confirmed for Kildare Heritage Conservation Projects

Kildare County Council is delighted to confirm that 4 Kildare projects will receive funding under the recently announced ‘Historic Structures Fund’ and a further 15 projects under the ‘Built Heritage Investment Scheme’ which, cumulatively, exceed €324,000.

The funding follows the recent announcement by Minister of State with responsibility for Nature, Heritage and Electoral Reform, Malcolm Noonan TD, that a total of 676 heritage projects across every county in Ireland will benefit from €9 million in financial support for conservation projects through the Historic Structures Fund (HSF) and the Built Heritage Investment Scheme (BHIS) for 2024.

Both conservation schemes fund a variety of essential repairs and sensitive conservation works to prevent deterioration, protect character, and encourage the re-use of protected structures. The schemes also provide important support for the employment of traditional craftspeople and conservation professionals.
