The National Regeneration Programme targets the country’s most disadvantaged communities; those defined by the most extreme social exclusion, unemployment and anti-social behaviour. My Department currently supports an ambitious programme of regeneration projects which seek to address the causes of disadvantage in these communities through a holistic programme of physical, social and economic regeneration. This year, some €70 million is being provided to support regeneration programmes at six locations across the country. Funding has been provisionally allocated in respect of each of these projects and definitive allocations will be notified to local authorities once discussions on the 2014 regeneration work programmes have been completed. Details of the amounts provisionally allocated are set out in the following table:
