Government allocates €5m to create local employment
The new funding round — which forms part of the Government’s Regional Action Plan for Jobs — will see €2m spread across Local Enterprise Office-sponsored collaborations and €3m allocated via the Community Enterprise Initiative, wherein community organisations partner with other regional organisations to deliver new job creation projects.
“Every parish, county and region knows it has particular strengths that can create jobs. The Government is committed to supporting that effort,” Jobs and Enterprise Minister, Mary Mitchell O’Connor said.
