I can confirm that funding of €75,000 was provided towards the cost of the project in question in 2015 under the Rural Economic Development Zones (REDZ) pilot initiative, operated by the then Department of Environment, Community and Local Government.
The funding application was made by the relevant Local Authority, which I understand was also responsible for the implementation of the project. The question of public consultation in relation to the project is a matter for the Local Authority concerned and I have no function in relation to this aspect of the project.
