Race organisers to squeeze ‘every euro’ from State
The organisers of the Tall Ships Race in Waterford say they’re not happy with the €310,000 they’ve received so far in government grant aid. Running the event is expected to cost in the region of €2 million but it’s expected to generate up to €30 million for Waterford and the South East from July 6 to 9.
On Monday, the organisers confirmed that a proposed €5 park and ride fee had been scrapped because they were now in a position to absorb the cost.
