Two Longford groups have received funding to assist with their energy costs.

The Employment Development and Information Centre (The EDI Centre) and Radharc na Coille Estate Owner Management were successful applicants to the Community and Voluntary Energy Support Scheme (CVESS).

Over €3,500 will be granted to the Longford groups. Minister for Rural and Community Development Heather Humphreys and Minister of State Joe O’Brien announced the sixth and final tranche of CVESS recipients.

Hundreds of groups have already benefited under the scheme, which was launched in response to the rising cost of energy.

The Employment Development and Information Centre (Longford) CLG Longford was awarded €3,133, while Radharc na Coille Estate Owner Management CLG Longford got €405.

Radharc Na Coille offers a seasonal pre-school service to children aged between three and five years of age.

The EDI Centre, established in 1998 LCRL, aims to address the needs of people who are unemployed or under-employed.
