This cottage has been in our Family for 300 years with each generation doing there best to keep it standing and going.
We need funding to re plaster the walls with traditional lime render and re thatch the Roof.
These are very expensive tradesmen to get as both are very specialist and are limited with how much work they take on each year.
Unfortunately there is little or no support from Government agencies with respect to ordinary family’s trying to maintain historic structures in Ireland, Grants are very limited and is a lottery who get them. We have applied for Grants but been unsuccessful as we are up against bigger Community projects.
To make our Cottage liveable again for our family to use on a daily basis would be a dream come true and to be able to welcome our many American relatives to stay in there ancestral home in Ireland
