Amharc ar fhreagraThe Structures at Risk Fund 2015, with an allocation of €624,000, will enable conservation works to twenty-eight heritage structures, in both private and public ownership, throughout the country, which are protected under the Planning and Development Acts 2000, as amended. This Fund is being administered by the local authorities and was open to two applications per local authority, of which one application may be in respect of a privately-owned building. Mayo County Council submitted two applications, one of which was successful. Details of structures awarded funding are available on my Department’s website www.ahg.gov.ie. Details of the other applications may be obtained directly from the relevant local authority.
