The Department of Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (DAHRRGA) have published their intention to fund Structures at Risk for 2017.
The purpose of the Structure at Risk Fund (SRF) is to assist with works to safeguard structures that are protected structures under the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended) and in certain cases, for the conservation of structures within Architectural Conservation Areas (ACAs). Only structures or parts of structures in immediate danger of significant deterioration will qualify for consideration for funding by DAHRRGA.
The DAHRRGA will consider 2 applications per local authority, only 1 of which may be a publicly-owned building. A third application may be made if it relates to an Irish Historic House in private ownership.
The total value of funding available for each individual project shall not exceed 80% of the total project cost. The minimum level of funding awarded will be €15,000 up to a maximum grant of €30,000. The minimum level of funding awarded for a third project submitted by a local authority in respect of a historic house in private ownership will be €5,000 up to a maximum of €10,000.
Applicants should read the guidelines (see Circular SRF 2017 below) and be familiar with the qualifying criteria and conditions of the scheme. All applicants must complete Application Form A (see below) and return to:
