Funding of over €480,000 has been awarded by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage to support the repair and restoration of 22 historic buildings in Cork County, under the Built Heritage Investment Scheme (BHIS) and the BHIS Historical Thatched Buildings (HTB). Both schemes are run in collaboration with the country’s 31 Local Authorities.

Cork County Council has opened applications for the County Cork Heritage Grant Scheme 2025. The scheme was established in 2021 to recognise the unrivalled heritage of the county and the numerous community and voluntary groups who actively engage with their local heritage, protecting and promoting it for locals and visitors alike.

Cork County Council has launched the twelfth book in its ‘Heritage of County Cork’ publication series, this time exploring the county’s trade and retail heritage from the prehistoric period through to the present day.
 

Cork County Council is encouraging private owners, custodians and community groups to apply for funding for the care, conservation, maintenance, protection and promotion of archaeological monuments in their area.
