There is no national monument in State care at Tailteann. Should any private owner of a national monument wish to carry out work to conserve a monument or to provide on-site interpretation material, they would be advised to consult with Local Authority Heritage officials regarding funding possibilities for conservation projects under various heritage grant schemes, including the Community Monuments Fund. The Community Monuments Fundis an initiative of my Department, which since 2020 has provided over 5.3 million euro to owners and custodians of archaeological monuments to safeguard them into the future for the benefit of local communities and the visiting public.The core aims of the fund are the conservation, maintenance, protection and promotion of local monuments and historic sites. It should be noted that all owners are required to comply with the National Monuments Acts.
