Local authorities, local development companies, community groups and stakeholders involved in outdoor recreation are being encouraged to explore the newly launched 2026–2027 Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme (ORIS).
The scheme will provide €20 million to support the development, upgrade, maintenance, and promotion of outdoor recreation infrastructure in rural areas, with targeted supports for Gaeltacht and island communities.
Funding is available for projects ranging from small-scale repairs and promotion to large strategic trail and amenity developments. Groups with project ideas are encouraged to engage with their local authority or local development company.
