My Department recently invited expressions of interest from a variety of organisations, agencies and groups in respect of the funding of recreational Infrastructure projects, should funding become available.

This initiative has generated a considerable amount of interest and I can confirm that an expression of interest was received from Longford Tourism. My Department is currently carrying out a detailed assessment of each expression of interest received. This assessment process, which I envisage will be completed over the coming weeks, will allow projects to be prioritised for any funding which is made available.
