The Traditional Farm Building Scheme is one of the measures available under REPS. It provides grant aid for the conservation and repair of traditional farm buildings on the basis of the contribution they make to the landscape in which they are situated. The Scheme is administered by the Heritage Council on behalf of my Department.

The closing date for the receipt of completed applications was Friday 1 July 2011 and the Heritage Council has confirmed to the Department that an application for funding under the Traditional Farm Building Scheme has been received from the person named. The application will be processed as soon as possible and the Heritage Council will be in direct contact with the person named in due course.
