Projects funded by my Department under the programme across the four Regeneration areas, in 2019 and to date in 2020, include construction projects, thermal upgrades and refurbishments, social and economic initiatives, acquisitions, environmental works and CCTV, at a total cost of over €21.6 million in 2019 and with over €12.9 million drawn down to date in 2020. Limerick City and County Council will continue to submit claims on an ongoing basis to my Department for the remainder of the year.
