Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 24 March 2021
696. Deputy Jennifer Murnane O'Connor asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the breakdown of funds applied for and subsequently allocated to the urban regeneration and development fund by county in each of the years 2018 to 2020, in tabular form; when the next round of applications under the fund will open; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15241/21]
View answerThere have been two calls for proposals under the URDF. In 2019, approval in principle together with provisional funding allocations issued in respect of the 87 projects approved under the first call which was launched in 2018.
The Table below lists the 87 projects approved under Call 1 together with up-to-date provisional URDF funding allocations. With regard to the difference between the current provisional allocations and the URDF support initially sought by applicants at application stage it should be noted that in some cases proposals were not sufficiently developed to warrant the allocations sought or contained project elements that would not attract URDF support. In other cases allocations have since been increased beyond what was initially sought in order to respond to more refined and updated project budgets.
A second call for proposals was launched last year, and following a rigorous assessment process I have only recently approved a further 45 projects for URDF support. There are no plans at the present time to announce any further calls for proposals under the URDF.
