No application has been received in my Department for grant assistance for the building referred to in the question under the scheme of EU co-financed grants for the conservation of the architectural heritage provided for under the National Development Plan 2000-2006. My Department has also established that no application for funding has been made to Kildare County Council under the grants scheme for the conservation of protected structures which is administered by local authorities, although the council is aware of the project.

Applications for grant assistance in 2005 under either of these schemes are now closed. It will be open to the project promoters to lodge an application for assistance under the 2006 schemes.
