In October 2017, I approved funding of €21.6 million for 281 projects under the Town and Village Renewal Scheme, which included €58,312.80 in respect of the project referred to by the Deputy. 

The 2018 Town and Village Renewal Scheme will be launched later this year and all eligible projects will be entitled to apply for funding in line with the Scheme criteria.

Further development of the project in question may, alternatively, be eligible for funding under the Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme which will also be launched around the same time as the Town and Village Renewal Scheme.  The criteria for both schemes will be made available when they are launched.  Funding will only be provided from one source for any particular project or element of a project.
