The Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme (ORIS) is funded by my Department under Our Rural Future in partnership with Fáilte Ireland. ORIS provides funding under a number of measures for the development of new outdoor recreational infrastructure and for the necessary repair, enhancement or promotion of existing outdoor recreation infrastructure in countryside areas across Ireland. The 2022 measures are:
- Measure 1 for small scale projects requiring funding of up to €30,000;
- Measure 2 for medium scale projects with funding of up to €200,000;
- Measure 3 for large scale projects seeking funding of up to €500,000; and
- Project Development Measure funding of up to €50,000 for development costs for strategic large scale projects.
Since the launch of the Scheme, over €87 million of funding has been approved for more than 1,200 projects across Ireland. I launched the 2022 Scheme in February this year with a fund of €15 million.
The following table outlines the details and status of each individual project approved under the Scheme in County Tipperary in each of the years of 2020 and 2021:
