Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 October 2017
378. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Rural and Community Development if an application (details supplied) is still under consideration in his Department; if so, when a decision will be made; if not, when the application was refused; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe application in question was submitted under the Outdoor Recreational Infrastructure Scheme which was launched last April 2017. The scheme provides funding for the development of new outdoor recreational infrastructure or the necessary maintenance, enhancement or promotion of existing outdoor recreational infrastructure in Ireland.
Applications were invited under three separate measures:
1. Small Scale Maintenance/Promotional and Marketing
2. Medium Scale Repair/Upgrade and New Trail Development
3. Large Scale Repair/Upgrade and New Strategic Trail Development.
I announced successful applications under Measures 1 and 3 of the scheme in July and I hope to be in a position to announce details of the successful Measure 2 applications shortly.
