    I didn't assume it was listed.
    I assume that because the OP included the fact that its almost 200 years old, that he wanted to be be sympathetic to this. Conservation work extends well past protected structures.

    you can check on http://www.buildingsofireland.ie/ to see if your house is mentioned - also check on the county development plan list of protected structures. If so, you're likely to need a conservation architect as you will be liaising with conservation officers, planning dept, and may need an architectural Heritage Impact Assessment to be carried out by an accredited conservation firm. Hope this helps!
