€74m rural regeneration project will repurpose derelict buildings in town centres across the country

A total of €4m has been allocated to renovate a derelict building on Youghal's main street into a library, remote learning hub, and community space.

Youghal in Co Cork is among 24 towns chosen as part of a scheme to convert old cinemas, courthouses, hotels and convents into remote working hubs.

The new €74m rural regeneration project today which will repurpose derelict buildings in town centres will be announced by Minister for Rural and Community Development Heather Humphreys today.
