The Galway-based literary organisation Over The Edge has just been informed that they are to receive increased funding from the national Arts Council to support the literary events they organise in Galway City Library and at Sheridan’s Wine Bar. Over The Edge will receive € 4, 000 from the Arts Council under the Small Festivals Scheme to support their 2007 programme of events.

In a joint statement Over The Edge organisers Susan Millar DuMars and Kevin Higgins said: “The increase in our Arts Council grant is a big boost obviously. We have an exciting programme of readings by poets and fiction writers planned for 2007. In January we celebrate Over The Edge’s fourth anniversary with a reading by well known Canadian poet and editor of 100 Poets Against The War, Todd Swift, in Galway City Library”
