592. Deputy Paul Lawless asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage when the grant system for the repair and conservation of thatched buildings was last reviewed or updated; whether the scheme applies solely to domestic dwellings or if commercial heritage buildings such as hotels, pubs, guest houses or tourism-related properties are eligible for support; if he will consider expanding eligibility and updating the scheme in light of the critically low number of practising thatchers and the urgent need to safeguard this element of Ireland's built heritage; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
