The structure to which the question refers was added to the Record of Protected Structures by Kerry County Council in 2006 at the request of the owner. This Department administers an annual Civic Structures Conservation scheme of grants for the restoration and conservation of buildings of significant architectural heritage merit and which are in public ownership or open to the public generally. This Contact details of the owner of the property have been retained by my Department and the owner will be notified of details of next year's scheme.

This Department also funds a scheme of grants for the conservation of protected buildings, which is administered by the local authorities. It is a matter for each individual local authority to assess and prioritise applications and approve funding. The scheme is aimed at assisting owners and occupiers to carry out conservation works on structures of architectural significance which are listed in the Record of Protected Structures contained in the Local Authority Development Plan. Kerry County Council has given provisional approval for an €8,000 grant toward works to the roof of the property concerned.
