EU’s €750m plan will help migrants

MIGRANTS, including the Roma community, are to benefit from some of the €750 million EU money being spent in Ireland over the next seven years, the European Commission has announced.

The money will be concentrated on delivering economic growth and jobs, including training — especially in the border midlands-west region, which continues to lag behind the Dublin and south regions`.

Announcing agreement on the spending plan, the European commissioner for regional policy Danuta Hubner said she was very pleased that 83% of the money hads been earmarked for job creation and growth.
