The Town and Village Renewal Scheme provides funding to support the revitalisation of our rural towns and villages. This year's Town and Village Renewal Scheme places particular emphasis on addressing vacancy and dereliction, supporting remote working, and enhancing town centre living in line with the objectives of “Our Rural Future –Ireland’s Rural Development Policy 2021-2025". 

I can confirm that an application for the project referred to by the Deputy was received by my Department for consideration for funding under the 2021 Town and Village Renewal Scheme. Applications to the scheme are currently being accessed and I expect to announce the successful projects before year-end.
