Cathaoirleach of Kilkenny County Council Cllr David Fitzgerald welcomed a New Year announcement of funding for recreation facilities in Kilkenny and said: “Trail walkers in Kilkenny received some good news today in the form of grant aid for some of the County’s recreation facilities, and I hope this will encourage locals and tourists to get out and explore our beautiful county.”
Mayor Michael Doyle said “Development of recreation facilities in rural areas is one way to ensure that the economic impact of tourism is spread across the entire County, and I welcome this type of targeted investment, and look forward to further initiatives in this area in 2018."
The Scheme is part of the Government’s Action Plan for Rural Development and provides funding for the development of new outdoor recreational infrastructure such as trails, cycleways and blueways, as well as the maintenance, enhancement and promotion of existing infrastructure.
