I can confirm that the monument in question is a protected structure (Record of Protected Structures ID 02348).
My Department provides financial support to owners of eligible heritage buildings and historic structures to assist in their conservation and protection through two grant schemes, the Historic Structures Fund (HSF) and the Built Heritage Investment Scheme (BHIS). The HSF is for conservation and enhancement to heritage structures and historic buildings, in both private and public ownership, for the benefit of communities and the public. The BHIS is a scheme for the repair and conservation of structures on the local authority Record of Protected Structures (RPS). It is designed to leverage private capital for investment in small-scale conservation projects across the country and to support the employment of skilled conservation professionals.
Both of these schemes are, in the main, administered by the local authorities. Applications for both programmes for this year are currently closed. However, it is expected that application windows for grants to be offered in 2024 will be opened in the coming weeks. Applications for this structure should be made to Cork County Council. The owner should contact the Architectural Conservation Officer or Heritage Officer in Cork County Council for more information on these schemes should they require financial assistance in preserving this protected structure.
