Amharc ar fhreagraThe Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme (previously known as the Rural Recreation Scheme) provides funding for the development of new outdoor recreational infrastructure and for the maintenance and promotion of existing outdoor recreational infrastructure in rural Ireland.
A total of €13.6 million was allocated to 251 projects under the 2017 scheme, including the project referred to by the Deputy.
I can confirm that a claim for payment in respect of the project in question has recently been received from the relevant Local Authority, and payment is currently being processed.
