Capital Supply Service and Purpose Report Bill 2023: Discussion

Ms M?ire Henry:

Yes. I am an architect so I am coming from that perspective. We have worked on a number of projects across the country, in all provinces, that are funded under the URDF and RRDF schemes. They are relatively recent, since 2018-2019, and that information is available on the website of each Department under its particular RRDF or URDF in a slightly different format. Under the RRDF, there is an interactive map, and it is a very good idea to update it. It is currently not up to date, but one can see a live map of where projects have happened across Ireland and the cost of the projects. To add to benefits, in the long term we create a database of best practice in using RRDF or URDF funding in our towns and villages to create vibrancy and to promote sustainable compact growth in all these areas, which is all part of Project Ireland 2040.
