The Community Monuments Fund was first established as part of the 2020 July Jobs Stimulus in response to the Covid emergency. Over 2020 and 2021, some 200 heritage projects have been funded to the value of €5.35 million. The grants available under the Community Monuments Fund help custodians and owners of archaeological monuments to safeguard them into the future for the benefit of local communities and the visiting public. In addition they provide support for heritage professions and job opportunities in archaeology, building conservation and traditional skills. Details of funding awards for Mayo are set out below. All awards under the Community Monuments Fund are published on my Department's website.
