Northern Ireland’s fisheries minister Michelle O’Neill has launched the £2.6 million South East Area European Fisheries Fund.

“I feel this fund provides an exciting opportunity for us all to strengthen and diversify our economy and society and make a real difference to our local communities through developing and delivering innovative projects,” said Chair of SEA-FLAG, Councillor William Burns.

“We are looking forward to accepting a wide range of applications coming through following today’s launch and would encourage everyone who feels they may benefit from this much-needed support to contact our office to discuss what support can be provided.”
