“The FLAG Scheme is a vital support to rural coastal Ireland and it’s obvious from the interest in the FLAG Northwest region that the approved projects will inspire future generations to see the economic and social benefits of our amazing marine resource and its related maritime industries.

“Schemes such as FLAG, empower local communities to adapt and evolve and to develop their own regions and to drive long term economic and social development, innovation and sustainability in their communities. Successful projects included capital investments in micro seafood enterprises, marine tourism and marine leisure projects, heritage projects and others.”

“I welcome this funding for these coastal based projects.”
