Minister for Rural and Community Development, Heather Humphreys TD, has announced a major €20 million fund which will support hundreds of outdoor recreation projects across the country.
The 2024/25 Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme (ORIS) provides funding for the development of new and existing outdoor recreational infrastructure in rural areas.
It will see the development of our natural amenities such as our mountains, lakes, rivers, beaches, blue-ways, bogs, forest walks and upland areas.
The funding will provide not only an outlet for the communities in which they are situated – but will also deliver added value from a tourism perspective.
