Pre-1915 buildings

snubbleste

Anyone who refurbishes a home or business premises built before 1915 in Irish cities will be entitled to claim back through tax 100% of all monies invested over a period of 7-to-10 years.
Local councils have been tasked by the Department of Finance to draw up boundaries as to which areas will qualify for the scheme.

Where are the Pre-1915 properties in Galway?
Which building would you like to do up if you could?

The University's Engineering building at Nuns Island and some of the terraced houses along that stretch towards Mill Street could be made very habitable and would inject some life into the area.

woodquay, the long walk and the claddagh would be older areas of the city

Tsipras

St.Mary's College

Lynch's Castle is much older than that

To do one up? I'd go for Una Taffee's shop.
If I am not mistaken it can be spotted in this old pic from 1903, not sure if it was in the family then.

Lots of Middle St and Abbeygate St, I believe.

Kirwins lane, Quay Street, the Long Walk and the Claddagh area to name a few, also quiet possibly the terraced houses at the end of Taylors hill, and maybe some around the Cresent and Sea Road area.

All of the current houses in Claddagh were built post 1915 though. Late 20's early 30's

Where is that quote from snubbleste? Do you have a link?

I don't know if much will be covered in Galway - this is aimed at places like the center of Limerick which has a lot of rundown redbrick Georgian or Victorian buildings which would be suitable for renovation.

Perhaps some of the stone buildings along Dominick Street would be covered.

There is not much covered in Galway - is right.
GCC have issued the area covered -
the West, Nuns Island;
DockRd, LwrAbbeygate;
BowlingGreen, UprAbbeygate, almost all of Woodquay, MarySt, EyreSt.

Renovating a pre-1915 property in those areas is worth an effective €200k tax write-off.

I'm going for Ruttledge Terrace.

All the houses along Henry Street are Pre-1915
