TWO of Inishowen's
second level schools are each to receive grants of
€30,000 from the Dormant Accounts Fund.

Buncrana have been allocated the money to help
improve their canteen and dining facilities. |
The money is part of a
total allocation to Donegal schools of €156,533.
Inishowen Senator Cecilia Keaveney welcomed the
funding saying the Government had so far allocated
more than €5.5 million in funding from the Dormant
Accounts Fund and €1.2m from |
 |
the RAPID Leverage Fund
to just under 200 projects tackling disadvantage
among children and older people.
“This funding source has been a great way of getting
monies that have been well spent into the county and
many people, have gained huge benefits to date. I
have no doubt that all the groups involved will
greatly welcome today’s allocation," said Senator
Keaveney. Among the other schools in Donegal North
East to receive funding is The Royal and Prior
School, Raphoe, which is to get €50,000 under the
same scheme.Meanwhile, the Donegal VEC has been
granted €100,000 for a new Play Bus. The mobile
educational unit is designed to facilitate adult
education for parents and childcare for their
children. |
