Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 January 2019
1001. Deputy Brendan Smith asked the Minister for Rural and Community Development if a project (details supplied) will be approved for funding at an early date; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [54112/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraI can confirm that the application referred to by the Deputy was successful under Measure 2 of the Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme and was included as part of the funding allocations which I announced recently for that scheme.
Details of all successful projects under Measure 2 of the scheme are available on my Department's website at: https://drcd.gov.ie/wp-content/uploads/ORIS-M2-January-2019.pdf.
The Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme is part of the Government’s Action Plan for Rural Development and provides funding for the development of new outdoor recreational infrastructure or the necessary maintenance, enhancement or promotion of existing outdoor recreational infrastructure in Ireland. The continued development of our recreational infrastructure will support Ireland’s developing rural tourism industry, and will also provide better recreational facilities for local people and families to enjoy.
