Nearly €850,000’s been allocated to Carlow and Kilkenny under a €9million spend by Failte Ireland.
It’s for the development of permanent outdoor dining facilities that are weather-resistant.
The Market Yard in Kilkenny City gets the lion’s share of the local sum with €649,000.
While Carlow’s set to recieve just over €190,000 – more than €130,000 for Tullow Street Upper and about €60,000 for Main Street in Borris.
Chief executive of Failte Ireland, Paul Kelly, says the structures will be helpful, particularly when the rain hits.
