The Minister for Housing, James Browne TD, has announced over €287,000 in funding as part of the 2026 Historic Towns Initiative for Enniscorthy

The money will go towards vital conservation works at Enniscorthy Castle, upgrades to the Atheneum, and a heritage-led regeneration of surrounding streets.
