My Department currently funds multi-year programmes of large-scale regeneration projects in Limerick, Cork and Dublin and smaller projects in Tralee, Sligo and Dundalk. These projects seek to address the causes of disadvantage in these communities through a holistic programme of physical, social and economic regeneration. The regeneration projects being funded by my Department target the country’s most disadvantaged communities, including those defined by the most extreme social exclusion, unemployment and anti-social behaviour.
Current regeneration areas being funded through the Regeneration programme include:
- Moyross, Southill, Ballinacurra Weston and St Mary’s Park in Limerick City
- Cork North West Quarter (CNWQ) Regeneration Programme
- Cox’s Demesne in Dundalk, Cranmore Regeneration Project in Sligo
- Tralee Regeneration Programme in Co. Kerry
- Pearse House, Constitution Hill and Matt Talbot Court in Dublin City
My Department has not received any submissions in 2021 for the establishment of new regeneration areas. However, funding is available and new applications for funding consideration will be welcomed by my Department.
My Department is currently working with Dublin City Council (DCC) in progressing the regeneration of Oliver Bond House and DCC have indicated that they will be submitting a funding application in the coming weeks.
