Kildare County Council’s Local Enterprise Office has been supporting tourism and hospitality businesses across Kildare with the rollout of the outdoor seating and accessories grant scheme.

Hotels, restaurants, cafes, public houses and attractions have been availing of financial supports of up to €4,000 to purchase or upgrade outdoor seating and equipment for the summer of 2021.

Kildare Head of Enterprise, Jacqui McNabb says “It’s fantastic to see so many businesses availing of the outdoor seating and accessories grant scheme. Covid-19 restrictions and lockdown have all shown us how important our outdoor spaces are, and how important it is for us all to get out and exercise and to enjoy what we have here in County Kildare, for our own physical and mental wellbeing.
