View answerThe 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.
Cork County Council were approved for funding of €200,000 under the 2020 Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme for the development of trails at Mallow Castle/Town Park and Blueway Facilities along the River Blackwater at Killavullen. Cork County Council has requested permission to revise the scope of the approved works due to issues with the Blueway element of the project. My Department has requested further information from Cork County Council so that it can fully consider the revision.
