Good to see the construction of Birr Primary Care Centre continuing at pace.

€5 million is being awarded to ‘The Mount Lucas Circular Bioeconomy Aquaculture Initiative (Circular IMTA)’, which is led by the Technological University of Shannon. It will demonstrate the production of new feeds and food ingredients from cultivated-duckweed and macroalgae at scale, using agri-food waste streams produced at a circular peatland integrated aquaculture site at Mount Lucas in Co.

Both projects will also include significant training and upskilling opportunities in both facilities across a range of scientific, technical, and engineering, facilitation, business and finance areas related to biorefinery and biomanufacturing.

    No Comments

    The phase one development of the Slieve Bloom Mountain Bike Trails is nearing completion, with almost €2 Million investment and the addition of 35 kilometres of off-road, cross-country, mountain bike trails, expected to open in early 2019.

    ​

    It is critical that the local community maximises the economic opportunity presented by the development and with a Development Group already established in Kinnitty Village and progress being made in Laois, this is a project that will transform the Slieve Blooms.
