Fermoy and Lismore have been announced as nominated towns under the Streetscape Enhancement Measure 2021.
124 towns and villages set to benefit from a new €7 million fund to support the enhancement of streetscapes and shopfronts were announced on Monday by the Minister for Rural and Community Development, Heather Humphreys.
