Quanta Research: Grant Aid Building Conservation - Executive Summary

Oidhreacht Tógtha / Uirbeach & Seandálaíocht

An executive summary of the report which examines existing grant-giving towards building conservation in Ireland. The study specifically set out to provide an analysis of the amounts of money that are offered (‘quanta’), and how effective they are.

This study on grant-giving in Ireland makes the case for continued state authority funding of a wide range of built heritage grants. The study also outlines the growing interest in ‘preventative maintenance’ and how to achieve value for money in grant-giving for building conservation. The Heritage Council received a grant in 2010 from the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to implement the Government Policy on Architecture 2009 - 2015.
