Junior Gaeltacht Minister Jack Chambers TD has announced an increase in funding for Dungloe as a Gaeltacht Service Town.
An Clochán Liath will be awarded total funding of up to €700,000 over the lifetime of its seven-year language plan, which will be launched today.
Three towns across Ireland will benefit from the increased funding which goes up from €80,000 to €100,000 per year – An Clochán Liath, Daingean Uí Chúis and Béal an Mhuirthead.
The Minister of State will launch the Language Plan for An Clochán Liath this evening in Ionad Teampall Chróine.
Prior to that, the Minister of State will speak this afternoon at the closing session of the Assembly of European Regions conference, which is being hosted by Donegal County Council and Údarás na Gaeltachta this week.
