The focus of ORIS is to support outdoor recreational infrastructure in countryside areas across Ireland that not only provide an outlet for the communities in which they are situated, but that also deliver added value from a tourism perspective.
The scheme supports outdoor recreation activities such as angling, walking, trekking, cycling, kayaking and hiking. It helps to make use of the resources of the countryside that contribute to healthy active lifestyles, supporting the economic and tourism potential of rural areas for both local communities and tourist visitors alike.
If you think that your fishing club should avail of some of the funding to develop angling or access infrastructure, get your application in now. The deadlines for project applications are set out below:
