Ireland's north and west MEPs have warmly welcomed the decision by the European Commission to allocate €51 million of EU Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) aid for retraining laid-off Irish construction industry workers.

The opportunity exists for the Government to apply for funding from the EU Globalisation Adjustment Fund to support workers made redundant in the Border, Midlands, and West region and that application should be made without delay. This was stated by Marian Harkin MEP who has initiated contacts with the BMW Regional Assembly and the Tánaiste on the matter.
