Almost €170,000 has been generated for local businesses in south Co Mayo, as a result of a new initiative encouraging people to spend money in their own area this Christmas.
The Lakes Gift Card is being accepted in a number of towns and villages. It has already been supported by a number of large employers, who are using it to provide Christmas gifts to staff members.
Almost 100 businesses have agreed to honour the cards which are for sale in a number of outlets and online.
Available in denominations from €25 to €500, the cards are being used to support a range of retailers and service providers based in Ballinrobe, Cong, Kilmaine, Clonbur and surrounding areas.
