Yesterday.
Green Party junior minister Malcolm Noonan writes:
The conservation of historic shopfronts is a cause close to my heart and I am delighted that a dedicated stream for Irish-language shopfronts will run again under the Historic Structures Fund in 2022.
It is my hope that the scheme will encourage and incentivise projects which preserve both our built and linguistic heritage, not only in Gaeltacht regions but across the whole country.
Structures must be included, or eligible for inclusion, in the Record of Protected Structures; Grants of between €15,000 and €50,000 available; The fund increases visibility of the Irish language on streetscapes.

What a waste of money
Yes, we should build everything as cheaply as possible and all shopfronts should be metal and glass.
All those beautiful georgian, victorian buildings in Dublin should never have been built like that, because it was a waste of money – they should have built it cheaply. Cant be wasting money on appearances. No sir.
Gimme 20 grand and I’ll put Irish signs on my van.
With an 8 pm closing we need to save the pub trade as well as the signs.
