The information requested is being compiled and will be forwarded to the Deputy in accordance with Standing Orders.
The following deferred reply was received under Standing Orders.
Details of organisations and projects that received matched and/or partner funding from my Department in 2023, 2024 and 2025 are set out in the below table.
For information, the National Built Heritage Service (NBHS) within my Department offers a number of grant schemes for historic buildings and protected structures, notably the Built Heritage Investment Scheme (BHIS) and the Historic Structures Fund (HSF). Funding is not awarded on a 100% basis except in very exceptional circumstances, meaning that the grantee must co-finance the remainder of the total costs of undertaking the conservation works themselves. While the majority of funding awarded annually through the local authorities under these two schemes is issued to private individuals or bodies, grants can be made to public or charitable bodies, depending on the ownership of the relevant structure. Details regarding funding awarded under these schemes is available at the following link: www.buildingsofireland.ie
