New statistics show that County Carlow will avail of Urban Regeneration and Development funding Call 3. New statistics show that Carlow has been allocated €1.5 million of the €142.5 million funding to turn 10 currently approved properties into an estimated 49 residential units in the County.

With Counties that border Carlow such as Kildare receiving €7 million for 27 approved properties and Kilkenny receiving €6 million for 22 approved properties.

Commenting Minister O’Brien said:

“I’m delighted to update Cabinet on the success of the third round of funding under the URDF. The response from Local Authorities has been huge with more than 1,200 properties in town centre locations identified and approved funding which amounts to just over €142M. This Government have placed a huge emphasis on the regeneration and rejuvenation of towns all across the country and as I travel around Ireland it’s heartening to see the impact of the various initiatives which are underway to transform towns and cities.”

Minister Dillon added:

“The URDF has been a real game-changer for our towns and cities, breathing new life into them and making them even better places to work in, to live in and to visit. Urban regeneration isn’t a luxury, but a real necessity for the beating heart of our urban centres and I’m delighted to see it in action across so many counties.”

Minister Noonan concluded:

“The most sustainable buildings we have are the ones which already exist and Call 3 under the URDF is ensuring we put them to their best use. The URDF is evidence of this Government’s commitment to improving quality of life in urban centres, making them more accessible, inclusive and liveable for all.”
