Leader Programme may help provide funds for Swan Park – Minister


The Seanad has been told that the Leader programme may be one avenue by which funding could be secured to restore Swan park in Buncrana and Glenevin Waterfall in North Inishowen.
Junior Minister Jim Daly was responding to Senator Padraig Mac Lochlainn, who told the Seanad that he is hoping to meet with Community and Rural Affairs MInister Michael Ring and Chief Whip Deputy Joe Mc Hugh in the coming weeks.
