Limerick City and County Council invites Expressions of Interest (EOI) for funding from town/village community groups who may have suitable projects for consideration under the Department of Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht’s Town and Village Renewal Scheme 2026.
The 2026 Town and Village Renewal Scheme (TVRS) was recently announced by Minister Dara Calleary, Department of Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht. The Scheme is designed to support the revitalisation of rural Ireland by focusing on stimulating town centre economic and social regeneration. This will be achieved through projects which support sustainable employment creation, town centre resilience and regeneration, enhancing our streetscapes, and bringing vacant and derelict buildings and lands back into use as community multi-purpose spaces through refurbishment and renovation.
There are two funding streams available under the 2026 Town and Village Renewal Scheme;
- Main Scheme – provides funding for capital works for a medium (up to €300,000 in grant) to large scale (up to €500,000 in grant) project
- Project Development Measure – provides funding, up to €50,000, for the development costs, i.e. detailed design, appropriate assessments, preparation for the planning and/or procurement, consideration of climate action elements etc..., for a future capital works for a strategic medium to large scale project
