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.
