A LEADER funding allocation of €50,341.50 for Virginia Show Centre has been described as “great news” by Cavan/Monaghan Fine Gael Senator Joe O’Reilly. Senator O’Reilly said this week: “The announcement by Minister for Rural and Community Development Michael Ring TD of the funding is most welcome. It will be used to purchase and install a renewable energy mechanical ventilation and air conditioning system in the conference and training rooms in the Show Centre.
“The allocation reflects a significant expansion of activity over the last two years since Minister Ring introduced a range of measures to make the LEADER programme work better for both potential applicants and the Local Action Groups which deliver the programme on the ground. “I am delighted with this announcement.”
