Bord na Móna has invested over half a million euro in North Offaly communities throughout 2024.
It invested €572,441 through the Mountlucas and Cloncreen Wind Farm Community Benefit Funds, supporting community groups, near neighbours and local scholars.
This brings the total investment provided by the combined Community Benefit Funds at Mountlucas and Cloncreen over the past ten years to over €2m.
"Since 2014, Bord na Móna has been deeply committed to supporting the communities around the Mountlucas Wind Farm and more recently the Cloncreen Wind Farm Community Benefit Fund has been introduced," said John Reilly, Head of Renewable Energy at Bord na Móna.
"With over €2.2m invested to date, the positive impact of these funds is clear to see in the remarkable projects and community-led initiatives that have been delivered.
"In 2024, we are proud to continue supporting these local communities through our allocation of over €500,000 in financial support for community groups, near neighbours and local scholars," he added.
