There is no funding allocated for the shopfront scheme in New Ross this year, councillors were told at the recent municipal district meeting.
Cllr Michael Whelan was one of a few councillors to enquire about whether or not the scheme would be offered to business owners in the town and area this year.
District manager Mick McCormack said: “We haven’t budgeted for a shopfront scheme this year. I would be inclined to wait until next year as budgets this year don’t allow for it.”
