My Department’s Thatching Grant scheme for the renewal or repair of a thatched roof of private qualifying thatch houses provides funding of up to €3,810 or two thirds of the approved cost (whichever is less) towards necessary roof repair or renewal. A higher grant of up to €5,714 may be payable for houses on specified islands. For private house owners of qualifying thatch houses who are also medical card holders a higher maximum grant of up to €6,350 (up to €8,252 for houses on specified islands), or up to 80% of the approved cost (whichever is less) is available. Details in relation to this grant scheme are available on my Department's website at the following link: gov - Thatching Grant (www.gov.ie)

My Department endeavours to carry out final inspections as expediently as possible following formal notification of completion of works.
