Today, Taoiseach Micheál Martin officially opened Campus Íosagáin; a modern digital hub at the heart of Baile Bhuirne, Co. Cork. This is a landmark day for the local community and the Múscraí Gaeltacht as a whole, marking the end of a 15-month construction period on one of the most significant rural development projects undertaken by Údarás na Gaeltachta in recent years. A total of almost €10 million was invested in the renovation of Colaiste Iosagain; the historic building that once served as a Gaeltacht boarding school. Under the direction of Údarás na Gaeltachta, the centre will create 200 new full-time jobs, providing a major and immediate boost to the local economy. The project was funded through a €3.4 million grant from the Rural Regeneration and Development Fund, along with €2.7 million funding by the Department of Enterprise, Tourism and Employment through Enterprise Ireland's Regional Enterprise Development Fund (REDF) initiative, and €3.8 million from Údarás na Gaeltachta.
