Dublin Zoo and Fota Wildlife Park to receive €3m in government relief funding

Dublin Zoo and Fota Wildlife Park will receive €3m in relief funding from the government to ensure the tourist attractions survive the Covid-19 pandemic.
This follows over €2.5m in funding raised by Dublin Zoo last month following a public appeal for donations to ensure all animals could be fed, which costs over €500,000 per month.
The Tánaiste Leo Varadkar and Minister of State for the Office of Public Works Patrick O’Donovan announced the €3m funding for capital projects today.
Dublin Zoo will receive €2m and Fota Wildlife Park will receive €1m.
Minister O’Donovan said the funding will secure the immediate future of both sites, which attract 1.6m visitors annually between them.
