Ceist:

366. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht the specific structural protection or assistance projects funded by her Department through historic structure fund and built heritage investment scheme grant schemes in 2019 as referred to in the Public Service Performance Report 2019 and the first six months of 2020; and the amount provided to each project. [21916/20]

My Department provides financial support for the protection of heritage buildings and historic structures through two grant schemes which are, in the main, administered by the local authorities. These are the Built Heritage Investment Scheme (BHIS) and the Historic Structures Fund (HSF).

This year 450 heritage projects across every county in the country will benefit from a combined sum of over €4.3m under these schemes. This funding will support the owners and custodians of historic and protected structures as they carry out hundreds of small-scale, labour-intensive projects to repair and safeguard our built heritage as well as providing vital support for local jobs in conservation, traditional skills and construction. Due to public health restrictions no funding for completed works has been drawn down in the first six months of this year, however, details of all projects approved for 2020 are published on my Department’s website (https://www.chg.gov.ie/heritage/built-heritage/financial-assistance-for-architectural-heritage/) as well as on each local authority website. These projects are now underway and funding will be drawn down towards the end of the year.

Full details of specific projects funded under both schemes in 2019 is set out in the table below.

The gteic network of digital hubs, dotted both along the western seaboard and inland in Ireland's Gaeltacht areas, are providing a new working lifeline to people who have been thrust headlong into remote working by the COVID-19 pandemic. In their provision of high speed broadband and creative working environments, the gteic hub is supporting workers and businesses in dealing with the unusual circumstances caused by Covid restrictions and facilitating the return to business that is vital for economic recovery.

In relation to hubs referred to in the Public Service Performance Report 2019, Údarás na Gaeltachta has confirmed investment in digital hub infrastructure in Gaeltacht areas as follows for 2019:

This refers to the Heritage Council's Heritage in Schools programme. The Heritage in Schools Scheme provides a panel of Heritage Specialists who visit primary schools throughout the country. The aim of the Scheme is to encourage awareness of the genius of the natural and cultural world that surrounds us in our daily lives and engage children in a direct experience of their heritage, preferably outside the classroom. The Scheme supports the aims and objectives of the Social, Scientific and Environmental Education (SSEE) curriculum and provides an additional educational tool and resource for teachers. The scheme is part-funded by the school and the Heritage Council.

The Heritage Council is funded by my Department and in 2019, I allocated funding of €6.588m as part of the annual Estimates process. The funding then allocated by the Heritage Council to the Heritage in Schools programme and the numbers of schools and children engaged are set out below

I am informed by the Heritage Council that the Programme successfully moved to an online forum this year due to public health restrictions. School visits were, of course, put on hold due to COVID 19. However the spirit of the scheme has been kept alive, with over 40 online resources developed with the heritage specialists, covering a vast range of topics including potato planting, folklore on herbs, beetle identification, modelling archaeological sites out of papier maché and singing traditional songs. The Heritage Council is now planning to pilot a new type of virtual visit of heritage specialists to schools. The intention is to maintain the live interaction between a heritage practitioner and the students, following positive feedback from a survey of primary school principals.

More detailed information on this Programme and the Heritage Council’s other activities is available on its website www.heritagecouncil.ie or by contacting the Council directly.
