PROJECTS in Ireland are to receive £3 million in grants under the EU Special Support Programme for Peace and Reconciliation.
The 145 projects come from the Republic's Border counties and Northern Ireland.
They include the Cross Border Women's Network, a network of voluntary groups formed to provide a unified response to the need for education, training and childcare services for women, and the Lifford Resource Centre, which provides coping skills for the unemployed.
The Minister of State at the Department of Social Welfare, Mr Bernard Durkan, yesterday congratulated the successful projects.
