It’s hoped a jobs boost could be on the way for County Clare following a decision by the EU to grant regional aid to the Mid-West
The decision means that companies locating here can now avail of grant aid from the State, equal to 10% of the value of their investment.
This puts Clare and the wider Mid-West on an equal footing with the South-East of the country, and marks the return of such aid to the region for the first time since 2008.
Clare Fianna Fail TD Timmy Dooley says the funding will help enterprise groups attract inward investment.
