Funding totalling €200,000 has been announced this week towards the provision of a boathouse in Carna for the Carna and Islands Lifeboat.
Minister for Community, Rural, and Gaeltacht Affairs Éamon Ó Cuív announced the funding this week, with €167,000 provided under the Gaeltacht Improvement Scheme and a further €33,000 under the Clár scheme.
The Minister said that he was pleased to be able to sanction such a grant to the Carna and Islands Lifeboat as the boathouse would be a valuable addition.
“I am happy that my Department was able to help Carna and Islands Lifeboat to continue with their plans to build a boathouse in Carna,” he said. “I am certain that this will be a very worthwhile facility as the provision of such a service is extremely important for the country’s coast.”
