A North Clare animal welfare charity says it will likely be reduced to emergency cases only following a funding cut. Four organisations in this county received funding under as part of a €6.4m government grant scheme, with €31,475 going to Second Chance Animal Rescue, €20,000 to Clare Animal Welfare and €10,000 to the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group. While the Burren Animal Rescue in Tubber was allocated €20,475, it marks a 50% reduction on the grant the voluntary group received last year. Chairperson Sheena Twist says they're baffled by the decision.
