Under Call 2 of the Urban Regeneration and Development Fund, which was launched earlier this year, Kildare County Council submitted an application seeking support for the project in question.

There were a large number of proposals received under Call 2, with every local authority submitting at least one application. Because of the nature of the URDF programme the proposals are very complex, and each requires detailed assessment.

The assessment process is in train at present, and it is intended that a new tranche of approved proposals, which will augment the existing pipeline of projects from Call 1 and contribute to the achievement of Programme for Government commitments and the objectives of the National Planning Framework and Project Ireland 2040, will be announced later in the year.
