Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 30 September 2025
549. Deputy Conor Sheehan asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage further to the publication of the National Development Plan Review, when the towns and cities infrastructure investment fund will commence; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [51284/25]
View answerThe agreed Programme for Government included a commitment to establish a new Towns and Cities Infrastructure Investment Fund to:
- invest in infrastructure to acquire land, assemble sites, de-risk sites;
- support the development of new transport orientated development towns as necessary; and
- to continue and expand URDF (Urban Regeneration and Development Fund) investments in project to regenerate the public realm.
Following publication of the National Development Plan Review in July, allocations to programmes and subheads, including the level of additional capital funding to support these commitments, will be determined in the coming weeks. This will enable the detailed arrangements for the implementation of these funding streams to be clarified further.
