Minister for Rural and Community Development, Heather Humphreys TD, has announced the expansion of the Town and Village Renewal Scheme. As part of the changes, 41 towns with populations of over 10,000 will be eligible to apply for funding for the first time specifically for Covid-related measures. The scheme aims to help towns in funding projects including:

  • The creation of outdoor areas to accommodate social interactions in a safe environment to include furniture and awnings
  • Enhancement of town centres by painting, cleaning and improving pedestrian access
  • Provision of equipment to run local festivals or events to bring people back into towns and villages
