€118k seized from the proceeds of crime have been allocated towards two community projects in the city.

Over €97 thousand will support drug and alcohol recovery services in Galway City operated by the Western Region Drug and Alcohol Taskforce.

Another €21 thousand has been awarded to SCCUL Enterprises in Ballybane, to support a community project known as “Canvas for Change”.

Nationally, over 4 million euro has been made available to organisations working with vulnerable people.

Galway West Fianna Fail TD John Connolly says this is money well spent.
