Over €1.5 million in funding has been allocated to the Galway Roscommon education and training board (GRETB) for 2026.
The investment will be used for the upgrade of facilities in the region and improving energy efficiency.
This comes after the confirmation of over €3 million in total GRETB funding for 2025.
Fianna Fáil Galway East TD Albert Dolan has described the investment as 'forward thinking'.
