The grant will cover energy/operating/costs incurred in the period 1st January  2022 to 31st December 2022. Applicants will need proof of expenditure and are now being advised to compile invoices and bank statements to support their claim.

Further details will be updated on the council website and via the Tipperary Public Participation Network in the coming days.
