My Department administers a 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. The deadline for completed applications was 15 February, 2008. Tynagh Development Society (Reference number CS 77 08) submitted an application for conservation works to Tynagh Schoolhouse. That application, along with all other eligible applications have been forwarded to an independent panel of conservation experts for assessment. It is intended that each applicant will be notified of the outcome of the assessment by end March, 2008.
