He's hoping the party will add him to the ticket in Roscommon-Galway, so he can run alongside Ballygar GP Martin Daly.

The funding was announced by Minister of State for Planning and Local Government, Alan Dillon.

The popular business currently employs over 100 people in Co. Leitrim.

In a statement this morning, Taoiseach Simon Harris described the Cavan-Monaghan TD as a "trailblazer in Irish politics", a great friend, and a dedicated Minister, and Deputy Leader of the party.

Justice Minister Helen McEntee will step into Cavan-Monaghan TD Heather Humphreys' former role.

There are expected to be power outages in Co Leitrim later today.
