Longford primed for €6m State funding boost
Longford's emergence into a new post pandemic era has been given a multi-million euro shot in the arm this week thanks to a string of State backed financial supports.
Close to €6m was announced this week by various governmental and statutory non-commercial bodies aimed at kickstarting the county's continued economic renaissance.
The largest of those came on Monday when eight schools across the county secured €2.6m under the State's Summer Works Scheme.
The announcement, totalling €65m nationwide, was made by Education Minister Norma Foley in a move which was universally endorsed by local politicians.
