The Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme provides funding for the development of new outdoor recreational infrastructure and for maintenance and promotion of existing outdoor recreational infrastructure in rural Ireland.
Louth County Council were approved for funding of €200,000 under the 2019 Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme for the development and enhancement of the Boyne Greenway. I understand that this is the project referred to by the Deputy. To date, no funding has been drawn down on the approved project.
As advised previously, Louth County Council has requested permission to revise the scope of the approved works and specific information in this regard was received on 16th April.
This information was not sufficient to facilitate an assessment of the request to change the approved project and further details were sought. This detail was provided as part of a revised application from Louth County Council on 17th June and this information is now being considered by officials from my Department.
