The Town & Village Renewal Scheme is designed to assist with the rejuvenation of rural towns and villages throughout Ireland, making them more attractive places to live, work, and socialise.

The Scheme has supported or is currently supporting 1,340 projects in towns and villages the length and breadth of rural Ireland. Grant funding is released at various stages as the project progresses, with the final funding being released on completion. Projects funded under the scheme typically take between 12 to 18 months to complete, although flexibility is provided on timelines where that is required to facilitate project delivery.

I have set out in the following table the level of expenditure under the Scheme on a county basis up to 9 July 2021.
