The Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme (ORIS) provides funding for the development of new outdoor recreational infrastructure and for the maintenance and promotion of existing outdoor recreational infrastructure in rural Ireland. In 2016, the scheme was known as the Rural Recreation Scheme.
Details of all projects approved since 2016, including allocations, are available on the Rural Development pages of my Department’s website at: www.drcd.gov.ie/about/rural/rural-development/rural-recreation.
Projects funded in 2016 were fully paid in advance.
Table 1 outlines the amount allocated in 2017 to Local Authorities, the combined amount paid to date under all three Measures of the scheme, and the percentage paid. Local Development Companies were not applicants under the 2017 programme.
Table 2 outlines the amount allocated in 2018 to Local Authorities and Local Development Companies, the amount paid to date and the percentage paid.
It should be noted that Measures 2 and 3 of the Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme are medium-scale and large-scale projects respectively and can take up to 18 months to complete in some cases. Final payments for 2017 and 2018 are only paid when projects are fully complete.
