County Wicklow estimate that they will have €60,000 to donate to successful applicants but stipulate that their must be a 5% match in private funding.
The closing deadline for applications in Wicklow is the 25 January 2019 but anyone interested in finding out more about the closing deadlines in their area can contact their local Architectural Conservation Officer or obtain further information from the government website
