View answerLast year I announced a new €20 million fund to support communities with shovel-ready projects on green or brownfield sites for the construction of new community centres.
My Department received 22 applications to this fund from locations all around the country.
I can confirm that Carlow County Council has submitted an application in relation to a community hub in Carlow on the Tullow Road, with €4,135,178 being sought from the fund. I expect to make an announcement in relation to the allocation of funding to projects shortly.
