Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 7 October 2021
477. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Rural and Community Development the status of an application for town and village renewal funding in respect of a project (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [48925/21]
View answerThis year's Town & Village Renewal Scheme will place particular emphasis on projects supporting remote working and enhancing town centre living as outlined in “Our Rural Future – Ireland’s Rural Development Policy 2021-2025.”
The 2021 Scheme closed for applications on Friday 16th July. I can confirm that an application in respect of the project referred to by the Deputy was submitted by Kerry County Council under the 2021 Town & Village Renewal Scheme.
All applications are undergoing a formal assessment process, with funding being allocated on foot of the outcome of this process. I expect to announce the successful applications before the end of the year.
