Donegal County Council recognises the contribution that thatched dwellings and outbuildings make to cultural landscape, employment, education, traditional skills retention, economy and tourism.\u00a0 The conservation of vernacular architecture constitutes appropriate, sustainable and responsible development. It is based on local knowledge of traditional skills, the use of traditional materials and wise land-use practices in which form and function are inextricably linked. Despite their importance and potential, the loss of our thatched buildings has been considerable. With support from Creative Ireland in 2018, a thatch specialist prepared a framework document to inform the setting\u00a0up a proactive, small-scale, cost-effective\u00a0pilot \u2018Thatch Repair Grant Scheme\u2019 to (i) provide specialist advice to owners on the conservation of their thatched properties; (ii) allocate funding for small-scale thatch repairs to vernacular buildings based on best conservation practice; and (iii) facilitate homeowners to undertake thatch repairs themselves under conservation supervision.\u00a0 The framework document, completed in 2018, will be used to oversee 3 or 4 projects in a pilot Thatch Repair Grant Scheme in 2019 supported by Creative Ireland funding. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-8641","event","type-event","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>A Stitch in Time - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A Stitch in Time \u2013 Thatch Repair Grant Scheme\n\nCounty Donegal is home to one of the largest surviving concentrations of thatch structures in Ireland.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/a-stitch-in-time\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"A Stitch in Time - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A Stitch in Time \u2013 Thatch Repair Grant Scheme County Donegal is home to one of the largest surviving concentrations of thatch structures in Ireland.
