Chapter 6: Central Government Funding of Local Authorities
9:30 am
Ms Mary Hurley:
I have looked at a handful of applications. They range from €50,000 to €100,000. Some projects that will make a real difference will cost €40,000 or €50,000 in some communities and there are bigger projects. It depends on the local authority. We allocated the €50 million fund based on the number of Ukrainians living in the communities. There are strict criteria. It is based on the number of Ukrainian people and the population density in those counties.
