My Department's allocation in 2022 for rural and community development is €378 million.

It is too early, as yet, to give a breakdown figure as regards the allocations for works on Achill Island in 2022, as no allocations have been awarded for this year.

However in 2021 I provided funding to the following projects for works on Achill Island:

- Dooagh Loop Walk was awarded €20,000 under the 2020 Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme (ORIS).

- Under CEP 2021 Neart Acla Centre, Keel Achill Island received funding of €2,633.93 for the development of a Community Facility.

- Keel Community Playground was approved €50,000 under the CLÁR programme for 2021. 

Details on my Department's programmes and schemes and application timelines, is available on the Department's website, www.gov.ie/drcd.
