1877. Deputy Cathal Crowe asked the Minister for Rural and Community Development the total amount of funding allocated to local authorities for the Rural Regeneration and Development Fund; the towns in each county that have been allocated funding; the project title of each since the formation of this Government by county, in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [1947/24]
View answerThe Rural Regeneration and Development Fund (RRDF) provides funding for the development and construction of capital projects in towns, villages and rural areas across Ireland. Funding is allocated to State-funded bodies. State-funded bodies are local authorities, Local Development Companies and other State agencies, including Commercial State bodies.
To date, 215 projects have been approved for RRDF funding of €414 million for projects costing €566 million.
Since June 2020, local authority led projects have been approved for RRDF funding of €217.79 million towards projects that cost just under €282 million.
