View answerThe Town and Village Renewal Scheme (TVRS) is part of a range of measures to support the revitalisation of rural Ireland. The programme is funded under Project Ireland 2040 as part of Our Rural Future, the Government's Rural Development strategy for the period to 2025.
The focus of the Scheme is to provide support for projects located in rural towns and villages throughout rural Ireland with a population, in the main, of less than 10,000 people. The Town and Village Renewal Scheme does not cover urban villages located in Dublin city, and no application for funding was received from Dublin City Council.
