Coastal communities to benefit from €35m fund

 

Funding of up to one million euro is being offered for coastal upgrade projects over the next two years.

Local authorities in coastal areas are being encouraged to apply for government funding to improve pier and harbour infrastructure.

The scheme will cover up to 85 percent of a project’s cost.

The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine says the 35 million fund was set up in response to Brexit and its economic impact on fishing communities.

Agriculture Minister Charlie McConalogue, says it’s a significant investment in coastal areas:
