Longford/Westmeath TD, Kevin ‘Boxer’ Moran has given his seal of approval to this morning's announcement that the county is to receive close to €500,000 under the Government's Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme.
Funding of €473,847 has been allocated towards upgrading works of Longford town's Royal Canal.
In his role as Minister for the Office of Public Works, Mr Moran said the funding represents a major tourism boast for the county.
Mr Ring, for his part, said the monies announced would go a long way towards further strengthening both Longford and the country's wider tourism appeal.
"I am delighted to announce funding of €8.14 million to 18 projects that encapsulate the diversity of work that is ongoing across the country to provide high quality recreational infrastructure for visitors and locals alike," he said.
