A Welcome Boost for Local Food Production: Firrin Foods Secures Funding for Vital Equipment
We are absolutely delighted to share that Firrin Foods Limited, an enterprising food production business based right here in **Ardee**, has been awarded funding of €198,205. This substantial grant is specifically designated to help the team purchase a new, advanced Bacon Slicing and Packaging Machine, a move that will significantly upgrade their day-to-day operations.
Investing in Our Regional Potential
This meaningful financial support comes via the LEADER Programme, courtesy of the Louth Local Community Development Committee. Allocated under the program’s dedicated Job Creation and Economic Development theme for 2023–2027, the investment is a perfect example of targeted help going exactly where it matters. By improving production lines, the project will help solidify local enterprise, build capacity, and pave the way for sustainable community growth.
The driving force making these allocations possible is Louth Local Development, a dedicated Local Development Company funded by the Irish Government to look after our region’s continuous evolution. If you run a local project or startup and want to explore funding opportunities of your own, you can learn more or connect directly with their support team through the official contact resources below.
