This Order provides for the designation, under section 372AB of the

, of certain areas in Ballybofey and Stranorlar, County Donegal, as qualifying areas for the purposes of certain tax reliefs under the Town Renewal Scheme.
The areas in question are areas which have been recommended for selection by the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government under section 6 and section 6A (as inserted by
section 25

) of the
Town Renewal Act, 2000

and
