“The 6 projects approved for funding this month include feasibility studies, new start-ups and existing businesses looking to expand. These grant approvals for local businesses have the potential to help create up to 28 jobs in various locations across South Dublin including Clondalkin, Walkinstown, Rathfarnham, & Tallaght. The approved projects are targeting the creation of 28 new local jobs within three years.
