Built Heritage Investment Scheme

For homeowners in conservation areas or of protected structures in Ireland, please be aware that Malcolm Noonan TD, Minister of State for Heritage and Electoral Reform at the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, has announced the continued implementation of the Built Heritage Investment Scheme (BHIS) and Historic Structures Fund (HSF) in 2023.
