Grant assistance of €471,432 has been allocated to Sligo County Council for the civic amenity site at Tubbercurry. The subvention given to Sligo County Council towards the operating costs of recycling facilities is not ring-fenced for each facility, so a detailed breakdown in relation to the specific site is not available. In total, Sligo County Council has received €96,050 in subvention since 2003. A further allocation will be made towards the end of the year.
