Galway takes largest share of Údarás grants at €16m

GALWAY was the big winner last year when it came to the approval of grants from Údarás na Gaeltachta, being awarded more €16 million.

This figure amounts to more than the combined total approved for Cork, Kerry and Donegal.

According to the Údarás annual report for 2006, published yesterday, Cork was approved for a little more than €2m in capital, employment, training and other grants while Kerry was approved for more than €2.1m and Donegal more than €10.5m.
