Minister for Rural and Community Development

The Town and Village Renewal Scheme (TVRS) aims to assist with the rejuvenation of rural towns and villages throughout Ireland, making them more attractive places to live, work, and visit.

In line with the commitment in Our Rural Future, the 2021 scheme prioritises the renovation of derelict and vacant buildings in our town centres, with a view to bringing these buildings back into use. I was delighted with the interest shown in the 2021 scheme, with 167 project applications for standard TVRS funding as well as 24 applications for the Project Development Measure which was introduced as a new addition to the 2021 Scheme.

The assessment of the applications made under the 2021 scheme is now being finalised and I expect to be in a position to announce the successful projects and the level of funding approved for each local authority shortly. The tables below provide details of all towns and villages for which an application was submitted to my Department under the Town and Village Renewal Scheme in 2021.
