This is a once-off allocation from the Local Government Fund to assist local authorities in the run up to Christmas. It is intended that this funding will be used to support Christmas events and initiatives that will encourage people to shop local and boost the community’s festive spirits. Studies suggest that every €1 spent in a locally owned business adds between €2.50 and €4 to the Irish economy and public services. That’s apart from lowering your carbon footprint. All good.

Community groups in the Sligo-Drumcliff and Ballymote-Tubbercurry Municipal Districts.
