The Minister for Rural and Community Development, Heather Humphreys, has announced funding of €3 million to develop and upgrade visitor and recreational amenities at Coillte Forest Parks across Ireland.
The investment is part of a strategic partnership between the Department of Rural and Community Development and Coillte to maintain and manage existing trails in Coillte forests, and to develop new recreation opportunities.
The funding will be used to deliver a range of projects such as new walking trails, carpark improvements, installation of footbridges and new toilet facilities.
