Wicklow To Receive Funding Boost As Part Of Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme.

The scheme provides funding for the development, promotion and maintenance of outdoor amenities in rural communities across the country.

Up to €20,000 has been allocated to a number of Wicklow projects including the provision of a multi-media video guide of St. Kevin's Way and the enhancement of links between the Wicklow Uplands and Sugarloaf Way on the Kilmacanouge Nature Trail.

Wicklow Minister Simon Harris says the funding will help the county to remain a destination of choice for outdoor pursuits and adventure tourism.
