Typical works funded under the scheme include roof repairs, structural consolidation and measures to ensure weather tightness.
Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Heather Humphreys TD, said: "This scheme encourages the regeneration and reuse of heritage properties and helps to secure the preservation of protected structures which might otherwise be lost. Since 2011, over 100 structures have been safeguarded for the future as a result of the SRF scheme."
