Monument maintenance money open

Applications for grants of up to €100,000 are now being accepted for next year’s Community Monuments Fund, and interested parties have until the end of January to do so.
This is a Kildare County Council grant scheme for the conservation, maintenance, protection and promotion of archaeological monuments within our communities.
The fund provides funding for projects in relation to archaeological monuments that are included in the Record of Monuments and Places (RMP), under the National Monuments Act, and that are identified in the Sites and Monuments Record, compiled by the National Monuments Service.
The fund has three streams, where applicants can seek up to €100,000 for essential repairs and capital works for the conservation of archaeological monuments, or apply for two smaller grants – both to a maximum of €30,000.
These are for the development of conservation management plans or reports. The closing date for applications is Thursday, 30 January.
