Through the Urban Regeneration and Development Fund (URDF) public bodies are receiving targeted support for innovative and holistic solutions to the issues that have hindered the regeneration and rejuvenation of our large towns and cities. To date, there have been three Calls for proposals under the URDF with in excess of €1.9 billion allocated to almost 400 projects, located right across the country.

Providing up to a maximum of 75% of approved project costs for applicant led projects, with the remaining 25% in matched funding arranged by the sponsoring authority, URDF supported projects are now active in every local authority area in the country.

Significant funding of €31.89 million was provided under URDF Call 1 for the Tallaght Town Centre Project to provide support for a number of key infrastructure, services, civic, residential and amenity projects in Tallaght town centre.

The Project will act as a catalyst for the wider and long term growth of Tallaght, as a living town and the thriving heart of South Dublin County.

The following table shows each of the sub-projects within the overall proposal:
