Artisan food businesses in Kerry are being encouraged to apply for funding under a new €5m LEADER scheme.

The LEADER support scheme aims to help artisan, micro and small food businesses to respond to challenges posed by COVID-19 and Brexit, and up to €200,000 is available per project.

Education Minister and Kerry Fianna Fáil TD Norma Foley says the funding will help support Kerry's farmers and food enterprises.
