Inclusion in new Regional Aid Map 2014
The Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Richard Bruton TD today (Friday) published the new Regional Aid Map, providing details of areas of the country in which the State can provide investment aid to businesses in order to support new investment and employment, under EU rules.
The new Map, agreed by Government recently, now includes Athy and is expected to take effect from 1st July 2014. It has been drafted by the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation under the new Regional Aid Guidelines adopted last year.
Locally, the Athy Investment Development & Employment Forum (AIDEF) has welcomed the announcement, which is seen as a major boost to efforts to support existing and new businesses in the region.
