Just shy of half a million euro is being invested to protect archeological monuments in Galway.
Ten local projects will benefit across the city and county from the €480,000 Community Monuments Fund.
A large bulk of the Galway funding will see investment in Temple Jarlath, Menlough Castle, St Nicholas' Church and Issertkelly - along with Kilmeen and St Grellan's Ecclesiastical sites.
While the other projects to benefit are Moylough Castle, Seefin Souterrain, St. Brendan's Cathedral and Galway Community Monuments.
