My Department supports a scheme of grants for the conservation of protected buildings. This is administered by local authorities. who assess and prioritise applications and approve individual grants. The scheme is aimed at assisting owners and occupiers to carry out conservation works on structures of architectural significance in the Record of Protected Structures which the Local Authority has listed under the Planning and Development Act 2000.

Enquiries about this scheme should be made directly to the Heritage Officer in Cork County Council, who it is understood will be accepting applications for funding under the 2007 Scheme until 23 February.
