The refurbishment of the Coiste Ionad Pobail na Minna Community Centre in County Galway has taken a key step forward.

A grant of up to €21,000 or 80% of the total cost has been approved, which will see a consultant appointed to the project.

Government Chief Whip and Minister of State for the Gaeltacht and Sport, TD Jack Chambers, said: "The renovation work on Ionad Pobail na Minna will further enhance the work being undertaken for the benefit of the language planning process - which is ultimately for the benefit of the Gaeltacht and Irish language communities. This allocation is being provided under the Department's Community and Language Supports Programme."
