Threat of 'successful' Irish tourism project collapsing due to Brexit fallout

Following the UK's departure from the EU, the route is due to run out of money by the end of August

Initially, €2m in funding was provided under the European Territorial Co-operation Programme, with the Welch government in 2020 announcing further funding arrangements to replace those previously administered by the EU. Picture: Denis Scannell

A unique tourism project connecting three Irish counties with three Welch counterparts is in danger of collapsing due to the fallout from Brexit which has put an extensive strain on the project's funds.

Launched in 2019, Celtic Routes was designed to expand and promote links between Waterford, Wexford and Wicklow and Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire and Ceredigon in Wales, with aims to increase visitor travel between the two areas.
