View answerThe Rural Regeneration and Development Fund provides funding for the development and construction of capital projects in towns and villages and rural areas across Ireland. To date, 215 projects have been approved for funding of €403 million for projects costing almost €551.7 million.
Calls for applications to the Fund are sought under two categories – Category 1 and Category 2. Category 1 relates to large scale ambitious capital projects with all necessary planning and other consents in place, and which are ready to proceed. Category 2 provides smaller grant funding to enable the development of project proposals suitable for future calls for Category 1 applications
Since the formation of the Government on 27 June 2020 to date, a total of €219,344,556.39 of funding has been allocated to Local Authorities, as the lead body for approved projects under the Rural Regeneration and Development Fund.
The table below lists the towns in each county that have been allocated funding and the project title:
