“I welcome grant aid of €347,000 approved by Heritage Minister Christopher O’Sullivan TD in respect of 45 projects across Cavan and Monaghan under the Built Heritage Investment Scheme 2026.

I compliment all the local applicants and the Heritage Offices in Cavan and Monaghan County Councils on submitting successful applications.

This Scheme helps property owners to conserve and enhance historic buildings and streetscapes and also supports the preservation and development of traditional building skills.

At a local level this year’s grants will be used to repair, restore and protect historic structures including traditional homes and significant public buildings stated Brendan Smith TD.
