A special project promoting tourism between Wicklow, Wexford and Waterford with three regions in Wales, is on the verge of collapse because of Brexit.

A special project promoting tourism between Wicklow, Wexford and Waterford with three regions in Wales, is on the verge of collapse because of Brexit.
The Celtic Routes initiative is funded by the EU and promotes tourism exchanges between Ireland and Carmenthenshire, Pembrokeshire and Ceredigon  in Wales.
Four million euro from the EU and the Welsh Assembly has already been spent on the project, but with the UK out of the European Union, funding looks set to cease.Project manager Oonagh Messette  says ending the programme after spending so much money on publicity, would be a shame.
