Connemara Seafoods Frozen Ltd, Kilmeena, has been granted €34,500 while WM Carr & Son’s Ltd, Killala, was approved a grant of €82,800.

Welcoming the announcement, Minister of State for Tourism and Sport, Michael Ring, said the funding will help the companies to build on the strong growth trend that has taken place over recent years in the seafood processing sector.
