Nina Carberry Welcomes €47.4 Billion Erasmus+ Expansion to Boost Opportunities for Local Students
MEP for Meath and Louth Nina Carberry has welcomed a European Parliament vote backing plans to nearly double the Erasmus+ budget to €47.4 billion between 2028 and 2034.
Carberry says the increased funding could create more opportunities for young people, particularly those in rural areas, and help expand access to apprenticeships, training and overseas work placements.
The vote comes as new figures show projects in Louth and Meath received more than €1.9 million in Erasmus+ funding last year, benefiting schools, colleges and youth organisations across both counties.
