By admin | January 2, 2007
Minister for Foreign Affairs announced on December 28 that the Government would give an additional €2 million to help emigrants. Of that funding, €1.6 million will go to nine Irish organisations in Britain to develop facilities for local communities.
Mr Ahern said, “My particular priority has been to ensure that this additional support is targeted to services for our older and most vulnerable community in Britainâ€?. He added, “We have a clear responsibility to this section of our community at all times, but especially so at this Christmas season.”
