13 towns across the country will receive similar funding.
Some €168,931 has been allocated for work on the historic Potato Market, beside the Presbyterian church building in Naas.
The money is provided under the 2022 Historic Towns Initiative and will be used to redevelop the site.
The Heritage Council, along with Ministers Malcolm Noonan TD, and Minister Darragh O’Brien TD today announced that 13 historic towns will share €1.75m funding under the 2022 Historic Towns Initiative.
The €1.75m in capital funding will help to provide jobs through heritage-led regeneration and will aid the rebuilding of local economies with heritage as a focal point.
A new aspect of the HTI this year was a call for proposals that encourage the specific re-use of historic buildings.
Funding will be awarded to the relevant local authorities for eight conservation projects, including Naas:
- Listowel, Co Kerry.
- Ballyshannon, Co Donegal.
- Ballina, Co Mayo.
- Macroom, Co Cork.
- Tipperary town, Co Tipperary.
- Monaghan town, Co Monaghan.
- Enniscorthy, Co Wexford.
