698. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if he will provide a schedule of works and-or projects granted funding under the urban regeneration and development fund 2021, by county. [15264/21]
View answer732. Deputy Alan Kelly asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the allocations that have been made under the urban regeneration and development fund. [15895/21]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 698 and 732 together.
The Urban Regeneration and Development Fund (URDF), which was launched in 2018 to support more compact and sustainable development, is one of four funds established under the National Development Plan 2018-2027.
The URDF supported capital programme is applicant led and all applications for URDF support are assessed in terms of their alignment with the intended purpose of the URDF programme and also their viability before being considered for approval.
There 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 second call for proposals was launched last year, and following a rigorous assessment process I have recently approved a further 45 projects for URDF support. My Department will soon be in contact with the local authorities involved concerning the arrangements and conditions attached to this URDF support.
In this regard, it should be noted that responsibility for the advancement of URDF supported projects through the various stages of development and completion is, in the first instance, a matter for the relevant successful applicant, the Sponsoring Agency. Each URDF supported project is unique as each addresses location specific issues, and many are of significant scale, complexity, and cost. As is normally the case, such projects must be carefully developed and managed by the Sponsoring Agency in accordance with the normal conditions and arrangements that apply to public sector managed projects including exercising appropriate cost control and delivering each project as approved and in full compliance with the Public Spending Code.
Table 1 lists the 87 projects approved under Call 1 together with provisional URDF funding allocations. Table 2 lists the 45 projects recently approved under Call 2 together with provisional URDF funding allocations.
