In 2014, my Department was provided with an allocation of €5m Capital Stimulus funding for a new Built Heritage Jobs Leverage Scheme to assist with works to safeguard protected structures, in private and civic ownership, protected under the Planning and Development Acts 2000-2012. This scheme was administered by local authorities, to whom initial applications for funding were directed. My Department currently holds records only of projects which local authorities put forward for funding, following assessment of all applications received. The table below gives a breakdown by county of the total numbers of applications approved under the scheme. It may be noted that a number of the projects approved were withdrawn over the course of 2014 and the final number of projects funded under the scheme was 540.
