OVER €8.1 million will be
awarded to 969 projects throughout Ireland under the
Built Heritage Investment Scheme 2026 including 16
projects in Donegal.
Of that total funding, almost €1.1 million was earmarked
for works to thatched buildings. This funding helps
property owners to conserve and enhance historic
buildings and streetscapes whilst also helping to
preserve and develop traditional building skills.
The successful Donegal projects under the Historic
Thatched Buildings scheme consist of eight re-thatch
projects. Five projects are located in Inishowen, which
has a highest survival of thatched cottages in the
county. |
