Written answers

Minister for Rural and Community Development

The Town and Village Renewal Scheme was first introduced in 2016 and is one of a series of national and local support measures designed to rejuvenate small rural towns and villages throughout Ireland under my Development’s rural development investment programme.

The Scheme provides supports for projects that revitalise Ireland's rural towns and villages. The projects supported range from public realm improvement, community parks, digital hubs, as well as the regeneration of derelict buildings, enhancement works at tourism attractions and other important local amenities.

Since the launch of the Town and Village Renewal Scheme, over €113 million of funding has been approved for more than 1,400 projects across Ireland.  I will shortly announce the details of the 2022 Town & Village Renewal Scheme.
