Minister for Rural and Community Development Heather Humphreys has today (Friday, May 14) announced the allocation of €10.5 million for repairs and improvement works on non-public roads in rural communities.
The funding, announced under the Local Improvement Scheme, will improve access to rural homes and farms, as well as outdoor amenities such as lakes, rivers, mountains and beaches.
Announcing the allocation, which is a 5% increase compared to 2020, the minister said there is significant demand for funding under this scheme, and that she is “acutely aware that more is needed”.
“I am working to identify if additional funding can be provided in 2021 and I would therefore urge each local authority to utilise the funding announced today, and complete the repair works on the selected roads as soon as possible,” Minister Humphreys added.
