The Minister for Rural and Community Development predicts a major funding boost will make an East Clare town a more attractive place to live, work and invest in.
As part of a €164 million funding announcement today, Scariff has been granted over €8.7 million under the Rural Regeneration and Development Fund.
The allocation will go towards the almost €11 million Scariff Integrated Rural Regeneration Project, which will see the renovation of an existing vacant building as a community and enterprise hub, as well as the enhancement of the Market Square.
Speaking as part of a visit today, where she took part in a number of engagements, Minister Heather Humphreys told Clare FM’s Seán Lyons the Government is committed to addressing vacancy and dereliction throughout rural Ireland.
