Minister Noonan announces â¬3m in funding for 85 built heritage projects under Historic Structures Fund 2021
Minister of State for Heritage and Electoral Reform, Malcolm Noonan, TD, today announced that 85 heritage projects right across the country will benefit from a total of â¬3m under this yearâs Historic Structures Fund (HSF). Announcing the funding today, Minister Noonan said: âI am delighted to announce another â¬3m investment in our built heritage. This yearâs Historic Structures Fund will assist 85 owners and custodians of historic and protected structures across the country as they carry out a range of conservation projects to repair and safeguard our built heritage and supporting local employment of skilled conservation workers and tradespeople. I am particularly pleased to announce the awards to vernacular structures and historic shopfronts made under the two pilots streams introduced this year. These awards celebrate the richness and diversity of our built heritage and help to preserve our connections to past generations, in particular through their support of traditional building skills, which this Government is committed to investing in.
