Commenting Minister O’Brien said, “This funding offers assistance to local authority biodiversity officers and heritage officers all across the country. I’m delighted that these excellent biodiversity projects in Fingal have received funding.
 
“First launched in 2018, the Scheme supports actions for biodiversity in local areas and is an important element of the overall National Biodiversity Action Plan implementation. Engagement with communities and local authorities is crucial to the implementation of the Plan and the grants help raise awareness of biodiversity issues locally, regionally and nationally,” he concluded.
