Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 20 June 2024
221. Deputy Cathal Crowe asked the Minister for Rural and Community Development the total amount of funding allocated to local authorities for the rural regeneration and development fund; to list towns in each county that have been allocated funding and the project title, since the formation of this Government, in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [26659/24]
View answerThe Rural Regeneration and Development Fund (RRDF) provides funding for the development and construction of capital projects in towns, villages and rural areas across Ireland. Funding is allocated to State-funded bodies. State-funded bodies are local authorities, Local Development Companies and other State agencies.
To date, 245 projects have been approved for RRDF funding of €577 million. Since the formation of this government, local authority led projects have been approved for RRDF funding of €389 million for 126 projects.
The detail in relation to the projects awarded funding in each county under each funding call is available on my Department’s website at the following link

Finally, I intend to open a new call for Category 2 applications under the RRDF in August this year.
