Mr. Daniel Sinnott:

On the question of the limit on the grant schemes, I would point out that there are different limits on different schemes. Under the thatch repair grant, a grant can be made of up to €8,000 in the ring-fenced funding the Minister recently announced under the built heritage investment scheme. Up to €20,000 can be applied for. Then, particularly special buildings may get funding under the historic structures fund, which can be much more substantial again. It can, in fact, be up to €200,000. That is in special circumstances. Grant funding is, therefore, available for maintenance and repair and then also for more fundamental conservation.
