Community Monuments Fund 2022
St Canice Finglas - Conservation & Management Plan Published
The purpose of this conservation and management plan for St Canice’s ecclesiastical site is to assess the history, cultural significance, and current condition of the graveyard – its monuments and boundary wall.
The Community Monuments Fund 2022 fund will invest a total of €5,000,000 in the conservation, maintenance, protection and promotion of archaeological monuments. It will:
- enable conservation works to be carried out on monuments which are deemed to be significant and in need of urgent support;
- build resilience in our monuments to enable them to withstand the effects of climate change;
- encourage access to monuments and improve their presentation.
The Community Monuments Fund has 3 Streams:
- Stream 1 - will offer grants up to €85,000 aimed at essential repairs and capital works for the conservation and repair of archaeological monuments.
- Stream 2 - will offer grants of up to €30,000 for development of Conservation Management Plans/Reports that are aimed at identifying measures for conservation of archaeological monuments and improving public access.
- Stream 3 - will offer grants of up to €30,000 for enhancement of access infrastructure and interpretation (including virtual/online) at archaeological monuments.
