Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 September 2021
875. Deputy Emer Higgins asked the Minister for Rural and Community Development if the streetscape enhancement initiative of her Department was open to applicants living in local authorities in rural areas of County Dublin; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [46565/21]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe €7 million Streetscape Enhancement Initiative, which is a commitment in Our Rural Future, is designed to make 124 of our rural towns and villages more attractive and welcoming places for locals and visitors alike. Property owners will be part funded to improve the facades of buildings, carry out artwork and install features such as canopies and street furniture.
The initiative is being delivered by the Local Authorities on behalf of my Department. Given the focus of the scheme, Local Authorities in Dublin, with the exception of Fingal, and the city councils in Cork and Galway are not eligible under the streetscape initiative.
Local Authorities throughout the country selected the individual towns and villages that would be targeted with this funding. In Dublin, this included Rush, Lusk, Donabate, Skerries, and Oldtown as selected by Fingal County Council.
