Funding announced by local authority in bid to maintain Kilkenny graveyards
From this week's Castlecomer Notes in the Kilkenny People newspaper
Kilkenny County Council has prepared a grant scheme to assist community groups/organisations in the management and maintenance of local graveyards and is now accepting applications for the Graveyard Grant Scheme 2026.
The local authority recognises and supports the enormous effort which voluntary groups around the county undertake to maintain and manage local graveyards.
These graveyards are very important elements of our local community and are valuable in terms of built, natural and cultural heritage. The Graveyard Grant Scheme 2026 aims to support community groups/organisations in the maintenance of graveyards and encourage best practice in graveyard management.
Any recognised community group/organisation can apply.
Projects eligible for funding in graveyards include; graveyard maintenance, graveyard recording schemes, heritage studies of graveyards.
More information contact Kilkenny County Council via email; [email protected]
The closing date for completed applications is Friday, March 6.
