Twelve projects in Offaly are to receive Just Transition funding, representing a major boost for the region.
Ann Dillon, Director of Planning, told a recent Offaly County Council meeting that these 12 projects are receiving many thousands of Euro each.
This money is part of a Just Transition Fund which will see a total of 47 projects share almost €28 million for employment and community supports for communities that were traditionally economically dependent on peat harvesting.
The funding for the 47 projects was announced at the same time as the Government s Cabinet approved €108 million for the rehabilitation of Bord na Móna bogs under plans to improve Ireland s record on climate action.
