‘Outdoor Seating & Accessories for Tourism & Hospitality Business’ Scheme

Galway County Council is pleased to announce that the Outdoor Seating & Accessories for Tourism & Hospitality Scheme 2021 is now open for applications. The focus of this scheme is to provide a level of financial support to tourism and hospitality businesses, in our town centres, to purchase or upgrade equipment to provide additional outdoor seating and, therefore, increase their outdoor dining capacity for the summer of 2021. This scheme will financially assist and support independent tourism and hospitality business owners to create outdoor dining experiences in a regulated and accessible manner.  Funding under the scheme is only available to existing businesses.

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 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.

Applications are now open until 4pm Thursday 30^th September 2021. Completed Application form can be accessed via https://submit.link/8z. For further information relating to the qualifying areas and application forms:
