Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 16 April 2026
238. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if projects can apply for funding under both the Historic Structures Fund and under the built heritage investment scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27712/26]
View answerThe Built Heritage Investment Scheme (BHIS) provide grants of between €2,500 and €50,000 for the conservation of historic structures, while larger grants of between €50,000 and €200,000 are made available under the Historic Structures Fund (HSF).
Where a structure meets the eligibility criteria of both schemes, an application under BHIS will not preclude a later application under the HSF for the same structure. However, only one grant may be availed of per structure in a given year.
Full details about eligibility for both schemes may be found on gov.ie at www.gov.ie/en/department-of-housing-local-government-and-heritage/services/built-heritage-investment-scheme-bhis/ and www.gov.ie/en/department-of-housing-local-government-and-heritage/services/historic-structures-fund/
