Six rural regeneration projects across the Shannonside Northern Sound region are to benefit from a funding boost.
Minister for Rural and Community Development, Heather Humphreys says the extra money reflects the challenging time it is for getting construction work completed.
In April, 25 landmark projects were announced through €31 million of the Rural Regeneration and Development Fund.
Today, 12 of those are to get an additional €3.5 million to ensure they are delivered in full, with €2.05 million staying in the locality.
The largest benefactor locally is the Ballymahon "Pobal le Cheile" project in Longford which is to receive an additional €673,000.
€317,000 is going to the C:Tek II Enterprise Hub in Carrickmacross, with almost €301,000 in additional funds announced for the Newbliss Enterprise and Digital Hub.
A similar amount of boosted funding will go to the Energising Boyle Town Centre and King House project.
The Dromahair Regeneration Project and Mohill Public Realm project will get an extra €288,000 and €179,000 respectively.
