A wide range of community groups gathered for Laois PPN’s Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme (ORIS) Funding Workshop in Portlaoise recently.
Laois PPN, in collaboration with Laois County Council, held the workshop for community groups across the county at the GAA Centre of Excellence in Portlaoise.
The Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme (ORIS) provides funding for the development of new outdoor recreational infrastructure. It also provides support for the necessary repair, maintenance, enhancement or promotion of existing outdoor recreational infrastructure in rural areas across Ireland.
