In March 2014, €2.975 million was made available to local authorities for a dedicated Public Area Enhancement Scheme in recognition of the challenges experienced last year in managing public spaces due to the exceptionally inclement weather conditions experienced early in the year. In light of this, additional, once-off funding was provided to support local authorities’ efforts to prepare and maintain their public areas. There are no plans currently to provide a similar grant scheme in 2015.
