Dublin City Council has launched its Shop Front Improvement Scheme for 2021 across the south west city neighbourhoods of The Liberties, Dolphin’s Barn and Rialto, and Kilmainham, Islandbridge and Inchicore.

The Shop Front Improvement Scheme offers grants covering 50% of the cost of eligible works up to a maximum grant of €3,000. Applicants are encouraged to adopt a best practice approach to their projects: using traditional materials that are appropriate to the building; favouring high quality signage such as painted letters or individually-mounted lettering; and retaining and restoring heritage features, where appropriate.

Qualifying works include:

• Painting and redecorating an existing shopfront
• Repair, decluttering, greening and general enhancement of shop and building fronts
• Certain works to the upper floors of buildings such as sash or timber window repair, rainwater goods repair
• Removal of high-level signage and redundant signage
• Installation of new shopfronts or material changes to existing frontages (subject to planning permission)

Follow the links below for Details of the Scheme and an Application Form. Further assistance with the scheme is available from stephen.coyne@dublincity.ie or telephone 083 1949009.  The scheme is open until 28th May 2021.
