Historical buildings and structures across the Shannonside region are being allocated just over a quarter of a million euro in total under two schemes overseen by the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht.
The funds support the owners and custodians of protected structures in every county across the country in carrying out hundreds of small scale, labour intensive projects to repair and conserve Ireland’s historic built environment.
In Longford €15,000 is being allocated towards work on the Gandon Gate at Carriglass, while €26,000 is being made available for work on Creevaghmore House in Ballymahon.
In Leitrim, €15,000 is being allocated for The Old Infirmary at Summerhill in Carrick-on-Shannon, and another €15,000 is being given towards St Johns Church of Ireland Church in Drumshanbo.
€22,000 is being made available for Clonalis House at Castlerea in Roscommon and €15,000 is allocated for the Harrington Studios at King House in Boyle.
A grant of €15,000 is being given towards the O’ Beirne Mausoleum in the grounds of Kilmore Church.
Another €134,000 has been allocated for various structures across the region under the Built Heritage Investment Scheme.
These include a grant of almost €12,000 for the Killashee Lock Keepers in Co Longford, just over €7,000 for a retail unit on Main Street in Ballaghaderreen in Roscommon, and almost €13,000 for Drumhierny Lodge in Leitrim Village.
