The Cavan Town branch of Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann has been allocated €1,250 under the Bursary Scheme.

Fine Gael Senator Joe O'Reilly confirmed the allocation today, having been informed by Minister Richard Bruton of the award.

The purpose of this scheme is to provide support by way of a cash grant to smaller scale music education/community music initiatives and organisations around the country.

In March of this year, the Minister invited applications for grants under the scheme, with 69 applications received. The total budget available in 2018 is €100,000.
