RAPID (Revitalising Areas by Planning, Investment and Development) is aimed at funding projects which will enhance the lives of residents in disadvantaged urban areas and provincial towns. The current RAPID programme is managed locally by the Local Community Development Committees, with support from Local Authorities.
The first table that follows sets out funding provided under RAPID from 2010 to 2016.
The second table provides the allocation for 2017 and the indicative allocation for 2018. The total allocation in 2017 is €5 million. Each Local Authority administrative area received an allocation of €64,500 for RAPID for 2017, with an additional €2.5 million ring fenced for the Dublin North East Inner City area. In addition, €0.5 million is available to honour legacy commitments. These include my Department’s contractual commitments under previous RAPID projects, mainly under the Sports Capital Scheme.
