573. Deputy Jackie Cahill asked the Minister for Rural and Community Development the cumulative funding provided under the outdoor recreation infrastructure scheme in each county from 2020 to date in 2024, in tabular form. [37906/24]

The Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme (ORIS) provides funding for the development and enhancement of outdoor recreational infrastructure such as walking trails, cycleways, water-based recreation sites and mountain trails.

Since 2020, funding of over €85.5 million has been allocated to 1,073 outdoor recreation projects nationwide.

A table detailing funding approved for each county under ORIS since 2020 is set out below. This information relates to the funding approvals per calendar year rather than each annual iteration of the scheme. For example, projects under measures 1, 2 and 3 of the ORIS 2023 scheme were formally announced at the start of 2024 and are included under the 2024 column below.

Details of all approved projects can be found on my Department's website.
