Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 791 to 796, inclusive, together.
The Town and Village Renewal Scheme (TVRS) was introduced in 2016 and is one of a number of measures designed to rejuvenate rural towns and villages throughout Ireland. Almost €184 million has been allocated to over 1,800 projects since the launch of the scheme.
The 2025 Scheme was launched in March 2025 and places particular emphasis on projects that have a renewed focus on town centre economic and social recovery and regeneration.
The closing date for receipt of applications for the 2025 Main Scheme and the Project Development Measure was Friday 25 July 2025. I can confirm that applications have been submitted by Laois County Council in respect of each of the proposals referred to by the Deputy.
The Scheme is heavily subscribed, and all applications received are being assessed for suitability against scheme criteria and objectives. Other factors such as the geographical spread of projects, the quality of the proposed projects, and the available budget is also being considered to maximise the impact of this funding. The assessment process is nearing completion, and I expect to be in a position to announce the successful projects in the near future.
