Since Microfinance Ireland was launched in October 2012, 8 applications have been received from businesses in County Longford. To date one application has been approved to the value of €15,000, 2 applications are still “work in progress” and 5 applications have been declined. My Department publishes quarterly reports on the progress of MFI on the Department’s website and the progress report detailing the analysis and performance for the quarterly period ending 31 March 2014 is available there.
