“'Our Rural Future’, the Government’s ambitious five-year policy for rural Ireland, commits to increasing the Government’s investment in our rural roads through the Local Improvement Scheme,” the minister said.
“So I was delighted to secure a further €10.5m for the scheme, which doubles our investment under the scheme this year to €21m – the highest annual allocation since the scheme was re-introduced.
“This additional funding demonstrates my commitment to improving connectivity for rural residents – whether it be access to homes, farms or outdoor amenities.”
