Town and Village Renewal Scheme
Dail Éireann — 2020-12-17
============================================================

Brendan Griffin (FG), Kerry

I emphasise how important funding is for the various towns and villages. The figure of 1,200 projects is remarkable. I do not have time here to cover the number of towns and villages in my constituency which have received funding.
In some cases the funding is relatively small, but the cumulative impact of funding from the town and village scheme, CLÁR and the rural regeneration and development fund, combined with the outdoor recreation infrastructure scheme, ORIS, and other schemes under Fáilte Ireland and various Government agencies, is huge. The results are starting to be seen but funding needs to continue. It is critically important that we keep funding coming into villages and towns. I ask the Minister for a timeline setting out when we can expect the next tranches of funding under the various schemes in her Department.
