I can confirm that an application from Moyvane, Co Kerry to which the Deputy refers, has been submitted by Kerry County Council to my Department under the 2021 Town & Village Renewal Scheme.

The Scheme closed for applications on Friday 16th July. All applications will now undergo a formal assessment process, with funding being allocated on foot of the outcome of this process. It is anticipated that funding announcements will be made later this year.

This year’s scheme will place particular emphasis on projects supporting remote working and enhancing town centre living as outlined in “Our Rural Future –Ireland’s Rural Development Policy 2021-2025.”
