The announcement was made today by the Heritage Council
Ballitore has been included in funding for the Historic Towns Initiative 2026.
The Heritage Council, along with Minister for Housing, Heritage and Local Government, James Browne TD, and Minister of State for Nature, Heritage and Biodiversity, Christopher O’Sullivan TD, have today announced that 18 historic towns will share €2m funding under the 2026 Historic Towns Initiative (HTI).
The HTI seeks proposals that encourage the specific re-use of historic buildings.
These awards will support residential and business re-use in towns across Ireland by keeping historic buildings in good conservation condition.
The aim is also hoped to boost traditional building skills and strengthen communities and local pride of place.
For Ballitore, €50,000 has been awarded for a heritage-led regeneration plan, which is hoped to inform future applications for specific conservation project funding.
These plans will be completed in 2026.
