Tánaiste Simon Harris confirm over €170,000  in grant funding which has been allocated for conservation and protection of architectural heritage under the Built Heritage Investment Scheme 2025.

The scheme supports property owners to conserve and enhance our historic buildings and streetscapes and at the same time preserve and develop traditional building skills. This year’s grants will be used to repair, restore and protect historic structures from modest traditional homes to landmark public building.

Funding will support the repair and restoration of older buildings with complex needs and thatched buildings. Tánaiste Simon Harris said: “I am delighted to announce Wicklow will receive over €170,000 for a number of projects under this scheme.“I am committed to ensuring our towns and villages receive vital funding in order to maintain and care for our historic buildings. “The Built Heritage Investment Scheme is a perfect example of an initiative to revitalise our town centres and to bring vacant and derelict buildings back into use.”

“This funding will greatly assist with protecting historic buildings which contribute to a community’s sense of identity, often forming the heart of a city or town. “This year’s grants will be used to repair, restore and protect historic structures from modest traditional homes to landmark public buildings.”
