Facilitating Rural Growth

Our Rural Future is the Government’s plan for sustainable rural development. It has already delivered major investment, strengthened local economies, and improved life in rural communities.

What’s Next?

Under this policy, the Government will continue to:

• Support the economic, social, and cultural development of rural areas.
• Promote balanced growth between towns, cities, and rural communities.
• Ensure rural areas have the social infrastructure needed to attract and support a growing population.

The goal is to make rural Ireland a vibrant place to live, work, and thrive.
