Dublin City Council has announced that applications are now open for financial support from a new scheme aimed at tourism and hospitality businesses in Dublin City.
Under The Outdoor Dining Enhancement Scheme, businesses can request financial support to purchase or upgrade equipment to provide additional outdoor seating and, therefore, increase their outdoor dining capacity for summer 2021.
The scheme is open to attractions, hotels, restaurants, cafes, public houses or other tourism and hospitality business establishments where food is sold for consumption on the premises.
The following items are considered eligible for the scheme:
- Tables
- Chairs
- Umbrellas
- Electric heaters
- Screens/windbreaks
- Plant stands
- Wooden Platform
The scheme will provide for up to 75% of the ex-VAT cost of equipment purchased/installed with a maximum allowable contribution of up to €4,000 per applicant.
The Outdoor Dining Enhancement Scheme is being delivered in partnership with Fáilte Ireland and Local Authorities across the country.
The scheme will be open for applications from 13/4/2021 and will close on 30/9/2021.
Funding under the scheme is only available to existing businesses and all applicants will be required to comply with planning codes, legislative requirements and other compliance requirements.
