Minister O’Brien announces €72,000 for funding for 10 built heritage projects in Fingal

1/4/2021

 
Local Minister Darragh O’Brien TD has welcomed the announcement of €72,000 in funding for Fingal County Council under the Built Heritage Investment Scheme (BHIS) 2021.
 
The BHIS is one of two built heritage funding schemes run by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage in association with the 31 Local Authorities. Through grants of up to €15,000, the BHIS assists owners of heritage structures – including those on the local authorities’ Record of Protected Structures and those in Architectural Conservation Areas – to meet their obligations to care for their properties.
 
10 built heritage projects in Fingal will share the funding which owners and custodians of historic and protected structures can use to safeguard and maintain them.
 
Commenting Minister O’Brien said, “Here in Fingal we will see a range of projects supported by this investment. From external joinery repairs to Laurel Mount in Borranstown to window glass conservation in Kenure Church of Ireland Church in Rush, this funding will not only help to safeguard our rich built heritage but it will also have a knock-on economic benefit by generating jobs, providing further employment for heritage contractors and other skilled crafts and tradespeople.
 
“The success of the Built Heritage Investment Scheme is testament to the close working relationship between my Department and Local Authorities including Fingal County Council. It’s very welcome to see local authorities such as Fingal placing such a strong emphasis on their rich built heritage,” he concluded.
