The funding is spread across the next three years to develop 'world-class' Halloween-themed tourism experiences.

€300,000 is being invested in the Midlands as part of Fáilte Ireland’s new ‘Home of Halloween’ strategy.

The funding, for Westmeath and Longford, will be spread across the next three years to develop 'world-class' Halloween-themed tourism experiences.

Nationally, €1.5 million will also go to Galway, Kerry, Fingal, and Meath-Louth from 2025 to 2028.

Tourism Minister Peter Burke says it's the aim to expand it to other counties like Laois and Offaly:
