Minister for Rural and Community Development

I launched the 2019 Town and Village Renewal Scheme on 16th April last. The closing date for receipt of applications from Local Authorities under the Scheme was 28th June 2019.

Over 300 applications for funding were received from the Local Authorities.

I can confirm that an application was received in respect of the town referred to by the Deputy.

My officials have completed their assessment of all of the applications received and the successful applicants will be announced very shortly.
