View answerThe Building Blocks Extension Grant Scheme was launched in late 2024. The closing date for applications was 30th January. There were four strands to the scheme: Community Construction, Community Extension, Community Purchasing and Private Extension.
A total of 78 applications were received with 50 successful applicants approved to progress to the next stage of the grant process.
One application was received from a service based in North County Dublin, under the Private Extension strand. This service was successful in their application and is currently undertaking the legal formalities of the scheme, supported by our colleagues in the Chief States Solicitors Office.
