13 towns across the country will receive similar funding.
Some €168,931 has been allocated for work on the historic Potato Market, beside the Presbyterian church building in Naas.
The €1.75m in capital funding will help to provide jobs through heritage-led regeneration and will aid the rebuilding of local economies with heritage as a focal point.
A new aspect of the HTI this year was a call for proposals that encourage the specific re-use of historic buildings.
Funding will be awarded to the relevant local authorities for eight conservation projects, including Naas:
- Listowel, Co Kerry.
- Ballyshannon, Co Donegal.
- Ballina, Co Mayo.
- Macroom, Co Cork.
- Tipperary town, Co Tipperary.
- Monaghan town, Co Monaghan.
- Enniscorthy, Co Wexford.
