County Waterford, Ireland
Structures at Risk Fund 2011
The Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government is introducing a new scheme, entitled the Structures at Risk Fund (SRF), which is to run for the 2011 financial year in light of the current pausing of the operation of the Civic Structures Conservation Grants Scheme and the Local Authority Conservation Grants Scheme.
Due to the limited resources available for the operation of this fund (€650,000) the Department will consider no more than 2 applications per local authority. It will be a matter for each local authority to prioritise applications for consideration under the fund. Applications shall first be assessed in order of need, by the Conservation Officer.
Only Protected structures in immediate danger of significant deterioration will qualify for consideration for funding by the Department. The fund is not intended to assist in the carrying out of routine maintenance, alterations or improvements.
Applications can be downloaded (see links below) or you can contact the Conservation Officer at rryall@waterfordcoco.ie or 058 22021
Completed forms have to be submitted by 21st of April 2011 to Rosemary Ryall, Executive Conservation Officer, Waterford County Council, Civic Offices, Dungarvan, Co Waterford.
