Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 September 2022
669. Deputy Paul McAuliffe asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the total amount of funding allocated to local authorities for the urban regeneration fund; the towns in each county that have been allocated funding and the project title since the formation of the Government on a county-by-county basis in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44099/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraEstablished under the National Development Plan and a key element of Project Ireland 2040, the Urban Regeneration and Development Fund (URDF) was launched in 2018 to support more compact and sustainable development within the existing built-up footprints of Ireland’s five cities and other large towns.
In line with the objectives of the National Planning Framework, the URDF is making a significant contribution to the regeneration and rejuvenation of these areas with a view to ensuring that more parts of our urban areas become attractive and vibrant places in which people choose to live and work, as well as to invest and to visit.
Following calls for proposals in 2018 and 2020, the URDF is currently providing assistance for 132 projects. To date, €313m has been allocated in respect of the 87 projects approved under Call 1. A further €1.324 billion of URDF funding support has been provisionally allocated to an additional 45 proposals approved under Call 2.
Table 1 below lists the 87 projects approved under Call 1 together with the up-to-date provisional URDF funding allocations. Table 2 below lists the 45 projects approved in March 2021 under Call 2 together with provisional URDF funding allocations.
