The Communities Facilities Scheme and the nationwide re-cast RAPID programme were launched for the first time in 2017.  €65,000 was provided to each local authority area under each scheme, a total of €130,000 for each area.

In 2018, these two programmes were replaced by the Community Enhancement Programme (CEP).  The below table gives the amount allocated, and provided to each Local Authority/LCDC for this new programme in 2018.  Details are provided for both the main CEP and the ring-fenced fund for Men's Sheds under the CEP.

The national allocation for the CEP in 2019 is currently €4 million.  The funds have not yet been allocated to the local authorities.
