Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth, Roderic O’Gorman, T.D., today announced the 124 community projects set to receive funding under the Communities Integration Fund 2022.
Through this Fund, a total of €566,492.60 will be made available to support local community-based organisations across Ireland to play a greater role in welcoming and integrating migrants and refugees.

Local TD and Minister of State Frank Feighan has welcomed funding for a number of organisations in the Sligo/Leitrim and North Roscommon areas.
Minister Feighan congratulated the successful applicants and commended them for their good work in promoting integration in their community.
