The Town and Village Renewal Scheme is one of a number of measures designed to rejuvenate rural towns and villages throughout Ireland under my Department's Rural Development Investment Programme. The Scheme is administered by the Local Authorities on behalf of my Department.
224 projects which were approved for funding of €21.3 million under the 2018 Town and Village Renewal Scheme; 156 projects were approved for funding of almost €15 million in October 2019 under the 2019 Scheme.
Tables 1 and 2 outline the funding that was approved for each Local Authority in 2018 and 2019 respectively under the Town and Village Renewal Scheme, the amount that has been paid out to date, and the amount paid expressed as a percentage of the amount allocated. It should be noted that payments are made when projects meet agreed milestones.
Given the nature of the projects delivered under the Town and Village Renewal Scheme, it is expected that the projects approved in 2019 will not be completed, in the main, until 2021. The remaining projects approved under the 2018 scheme are expected to be finalised during 2020. However, the completion of some projects may also be delayed as a result of the COVID-19 restrictions.
