Sites across Cavan and Monaghan are set to benefit from a new tranche of funding under the Built Heritage Investment Scheme and the Historic Structures Fund for 2023.
With combined funding of €9m, the 2023 schemes represent a significant investment in the preservation of Ireland's built heritage.
It is expected the BHIS and HSF will support hundreds of projects locally as well as nationally, and create over 50,000 days of employment for skilled conservation professionals and craftspeople.
Minister Malcolm Noonan said it was important to support communities in their efforts to repair, preserve and restore their built heritage as it takes significant time, care, expertise, and investment.
He added that applications are now open for funding under both schemes which will help with the protection and preservation of Ireland's built environment, in line with the goals set out in the national heritage plan.
