It's been a tough year for the voluntary sector.

Over €50,000 is being allocated to animal welfare groups in the midlands.

Offaly SPCA receives the largest tranche at €23,000; with their counterparts in Laois getting €19,000; €10,000 going to the Irish Horse Rehoming Programme in Cloneygowan; and the Irish Red Grouse Association in Moate receiving €2,500.

101 organisations are benefitting from €3.2 million - making it the largest ever allocation of government funds to animal welfare group - in what's been a challenging year for the charity sector.
