Multi million Euro fund to create remote working hubs
€75m has been awarded to regenerate buildings in rural Ireland into remote working hubs.
24 projects have been funded to turn run down buildings, cinemas, courthouses and hotels into modern public spaces across rural Ireland.
Here in Cork, a new €4 million library will be built on North Main Street in Youghal, while €774,000 will be used for improvement works in Ballydesmond village.
Minister Heather Humphreys says the money from the Rural Redevelopment fund will help people who want to move back to the countryside to work.
"You're going to see investment in lovely buildings that we have in our towns, which are run down, they're vacant, they're not being used any more.
"For example you have old cinemas, old courthouses, old convents, old hotels, old market houses, they're lying empty.
"This money will regenerate these old buildings, and turn them into new, modern day working hubs."
