The Outdoor Recreation and Infrastructure Scheme (ORIS) provides funding under a number of different measures for the development and enhancement of outdoor recreational infrastructure.

On 29th November 2021, I approved €49,950 under the ORIS Project Development Measure for an Infrastructural Development Plan for Inch Beach. Under the terms of the Funding Agreement, the deadline date for completion of the project is 31^stDecember 2022.

I understand that Kerry County Council have confirmed that in the coming weeks they will be engaging with the Inch Tourism and Development Committee and other key stakeholders regarding the Infrastructural Development Plan.
