Midlands North West lagging behind, warns Markey

The Midlands North West region is falling behind economically, Colm Markey has warned. When EU regional funding was calculated for the period 2021 to 2027, the Midlands North West was classed in the middle, with a below-average GDP. But according to Fine Gael MEP, Colm Markey, the region is now lagging even further behind. He says experts need to be recruited to bring in more EU cash and help level up with the rest of Ireland.
