Roscommon County Council in conjunction with the National Built Heritage Service (NBHS) within the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage are inviting applications for the “BHIS Historic Thatched Buildings Stream 2025”. 

The BHIS Historic Thatched Buildings Stream is intended to support thatched buildings in need of repair and conservation works.

Eligible Structures: Any historic thatched structure, including domestic or commercial properties.

Levels of funding available: Based on the number of historic thatched properties within each area as per the results of the NBHS thatched building census, Roscommon County Council has been allocated a total of €6,984.47 for this scheme.

Given the large number of applicants for a limited pot of funding, it is unlikely that applicants will be awarded the full amount requested.

Successful applicants must pay for the works themselves and they will receive the grant funding at the end of 2025.
