County Hall: €4.7 million for projects in Youghal and Ballydesmond will provide a much needed boost
Youghal is set for a new €4 million library, while over €770,000 is being granted for improvement works in Ballydesmond village.
A collection of derelict buildings on North Main Street in Youghal will be renovated and extended to create a modern and fully restored library.
In Ballydesmond, the money will be used on improvement works for the centre of the village, including developments such as enhanced streetscapes, walkways and park areas.
The €1 billion Rural Regeneration and Development Fund is a key part of the Ireland 2040 Plan and aims to rejuvenate communities, create jobs and transform rural economies.
Speaking to RedFM News, Mayor of the County Cllr Mary Linehan Foley has welcomed the funding:
"The people of Youghal will welcome a longed-for permanent building and Ballydesmond is set to see a new town Vista. We have two very positive projects he and I look forward to seeing both progress."
