Youth projects and organisations in Donegal are to share just over €26,000 in funding.
Green Party Minister for Children, Disability, Equality and Integration, Roderic O’Gorman TD announced the details last evening.
Donegal Youth Service will receive almost €23,300 while Involve Letterkenny will receive just over €2,800.
The funding allocation is part of a nationwide package worth €2.3 million.
National youth organisations with branches in Donegal will also receive a funding boost.
