A new economic and environment stimulus partnership has secured funding to progress several ‘firsts’ for the Midlands, that will mobilise the next generation of green-enterprise innovators and stimulate regional job creation.
Empower Eco was formed in the early days of Ireland’s March lockdown as a collaboration between Athlone Institute of Technology, Bord na Móna, Enterprise Ireland, Offaly County Council, LEO Offaly, Limerick Institute of Technology, Maynooth University, and Kilcormac Development Association.
It is chaired by Rita Shah, founder and CEO of Shabra Plastics and Recycling Limited.

More than a year after Offaly County Council gave the go ahead for a large shopping centre development in Tullamore, the wait goes on for a final decision from An Bord Pleanala.
Offaly County Council granted permission for Riverside development on the Church Roaf on December 11, 2019 but imposed 21 conditions.
Appeals were lodged last January with the people of Riverside in Tullamore objecting to the development and Grapemont appealing one of the conditions.
A decision was due last May but when Covid struck that was postponed with no new date given for a decision.
