Amharc ar fhreagraThe Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme (ORIS) provides funding under a number of measures for the development of new outdoor recreational infrastructure and for the necessary repair, enhancement or promotion of existing outdoor recreation infrastructure in countryside areas across Ireland.
The scheme is supporting the delivery of Ireland's national outdoor recreation strategy, 'Embracing Ireland's Outdoors'.
I am currently working with my officials on the next iteration of the programme and I expect to announce details of the new scheme in Quarter 2 of this year.
