What funding is available?

Please note, this scheme is now closed.

The Scheme has a total budget of €5 million. 

The amount of the investment grant may be up to 100% of Eligible Project Expenditure and is at the discretion of Fáilte Ireland. 

Projects of scale and impact are required; therefore project costs need to be a minimum of €250,000. While no maximum threshold has been set, this pilot scheme has a fund of €5m therefore we estimate that a maximum number of 10 projects will be awarded funded.  

The investment grant amount offered may be less or more than that requested by the applicant and is at the full discretion of Fáilte Ireland. Ultimately, the amount of support that can be availed of will depend principally on the number of successful applicants.  

The Local Authority will be responsible for all costs associated with ineligible project expenditure.
