Over €10m in recurring annual funding is being awarded to the voluntary hospice sector from 2021 onwards.
Health Minister Stephen Donnelly announced the provision earlier this afternoon.
The Government says the additional funding will help to address the core funding shortfall the sector has experienced in recent years.
