Limerick TD and Minister Patrick O’Donovan has expressed his delight with the news that County Limerick is to receive €585,100 in Government funding from Minister Michael Ring’s Department, the Department of Rural and Community Development under the 2019 Town and Village Renewal Scheme.
Projects in Askeaton, Ballingarry, Broadford, Dromcollogher, Kilteely and Murroe Boher are all to benefit from the scheme.
“This is great news for rural Co. Limerick. These projects have been developed in conjunction with Limerick City and County Council and the local communities. I know from working with volunteers across Co Limerick what funding like this means to the areas concerned. This injection is just one of a number we have made as a Government into rural Limerick.”
“As the local Minister and TD I am committed to getting our fair share for Co Limerick and today’s investment is just another example of that.”
