Over €25,000 in heritage funding has been allocated to two initiatives in Kildare as part of a national €1.9 million grant scheme from the Heritage Council.
In Kildare, Newbridge Tidy Towns Association has been awarded €22,500 to develop a Conservation Management Plan for the remains and graveyard of Great Connell Priory in Newbridge.
