I am informed by Bord Fáilte that a sum of £4,393 was spent in County Meath in the year ended 31st March, 1971. The money was spent on accommodation development, national monuments, tidy towns, field sports and a contribution towards a Boyne riverside park study.
In the current year to date, I am glad to say the board have spent £9,660 in County Meath mainly on accommodation development and signposting. The board expect to pay a further £16,000 for accommodation development in County Meath before the end of the year.
