Under Call 2 of the Urban Regeneration and Development Fund  (URDF), seventy six proposals were received, with every local authority submitting at least one application for URDF support, and all of which require detailed assessment.  Meath County Council submitted seven proposals under Call 2 including the proposal in question.

The assessment process is nearing completion, and I intend to soon announce a new tranche of URDF supprted 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.
