Urban Conservation in the Republic of Ireland: The Dublin Example – Part 2

Abstract

The second part of two articles concerning conservation in the Republic of Ireland; highlights financial support for the preservation of listed buildings in the republic of Ireland. Reports that Dublin Corporation′s List 3 buildings are maintained through state funds, however only one building in Dublin outside state ownership has been supported by this fund. Suggests the usefulness of a national system of grants or subsidy to assist private owners in preserving their listed buildings and reports on existing funds available to private owners. Reveals that most dilapidated buildings in Dublin City are within Government “designated areas” and have tax incentives to assist refurbishment: describes failures in this system. Continues to outline further conservation areas, plans and and Acts necessary to ensure Dublin′s heritage is fully protected for the future.
