Mayo County Council submitted applications for funding support for two projects under Call 2 of the Urban Regeneration and Development Fund. The final date for the submission of applications under Call 2 was 29 May.

A large number of proposals were received, with every local authority submitting at least one application for URDF support.

Because of the nature of the URDF programme the proposals are very complex, and each will require detailed assessment. The assessment process will take place over the coming months with the intention that a new tranche of approved proposals, which will augment the existing pipeline of projects from Call 1 and contribute to the achievement of NPF objectives, will be announced later in the year.
