The first grants for local community groups and micro enterprises in Donegal have arrived from the Fisheries Local Action Group for 2020.
Deputy Joe McHugh said the grants are co-funded by the Government and European Union and are very welcome and timely boosts to the recipients across Donegal.
“The total value of the grants nationwide is €1.2m so it is correct that groups and enterprises here should receive this much needed funding. The grants set out to assist with investments being made in local projects.
“Seven Fisheries Local Action Groups (FLAGs) were established under the country’s European Maritime and Fisheries Fund Programme. Each group takes care of a region in the country and assists with the distribution for the funding here in Donegal,” McHugh said.
The groups and funding received are:
