Written by Eamon Ó Cuív Tuesday, 23 February 2010
Today (23/02/10), Éamon Ó Cuív T.D., Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs, welcomed the decision of the Government to approve investment assistance of over €781,250 to Gal Ard Teoranta, a bakery and confectionery company in Ard an Ratha, County Donegal. This will bring the overall State investment in grants to the company to €4.25m and will facilitate the creation of much needed employment in the Gaeltacht.
The agreed funding will be provided by Údarás na Gaeltachta in order to assist the company in expanding its business through enhanced product development. An increase of 36 in the projected number employed by the company is anticipated, bringing the total number of employees from 171 to 207 over the next three years.
Minister Ó Cuív said, “This is good news for the Gaeltacht and for south-west Donegal in particular and is in line with the Government’s policy in regard to balanced regional development. I am particularly delighted that this investment will create 36 new jobs in the area.”
