Mon 05 May 2011Request for 'Your Country' scheme funding withdrawn
GOVERNMENT FUNDING of €300,000 promised to the Your Country Your Call Competition will not be paid after the initiator of the contest, Dr Martin McAleese, husband of President Mary McAleese, said it was no longer needed.
The competition, when it opened in February last year, aimed to find two proposals that, when implemented, would “transform our economy or significant elements of it” and provide Ireland with opportunities for employment and prosperity. Mrs McAleese was patron of the initiative.
