Galway Bay FM newsroom- Galway Hospice is to get just over 400,000 in Government funding
It's part of a 10 million national allocation to go towards palliative and end-of-life care.
The Health Minister's announced the funding to increase the equitable access to palliative care services across the country.
Stephen Donnelly says he has secured 3 million euro of this once-off funding to develop hospices in Cavan, Tullamore, and Drogheda.
The development of these units will result in a hospice serving every region of the country.
Funding will also be used to support those provided by voluntary organisations and the financial sustainability of the voluntary hospice sector.
