The Minister expressed confidence that the funding would help address some of the outstanding concerns of over two dozen households in the townland, located near the village of Mullagh. "This allocation will enable a total value of works amounting to EUR219,560 to be carried out. The remainder will be paid by the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government and by private contribution from the Group members. A total of 27 households will benefit from the scheme with savings of EUR513 per household", explained Minister Killeen.
