In 2017, South Dublin County Council received thirty-four initial applications expressing an interest in the Shop Front Grant Scheme. Of those, ten applications proceeded and were approved in accordance with the criteria for the scheme.  Applicants who did not proceed with their application in 2017 can re-apply in 2018.

The Shopfront Grant Scheme will be advertised early in 2018 through social media, advertisement in local papers and a leaflet drop to businesses /retailers in the villages of the County.   The Elected Members will also be e-mailed with details when the scheme is open for applications.
