The Marshall Plan was a program created by the United States to give money to countries of Western Europe to rebuild farms, factories, and railroads damaged during World War II. It was created as an act of containment to try and stop countries from falling to communism. The countries that accepted aid from the Marshall Plan were Great Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Greece, Turkey, Poland, Sweden, Denmark, and Norway. Spain, Sweden, and Austria were the only countries who accepted aid from the Marshall plan but refused to become members of NATO.

What projects in Ireland were funded by the Marshall Plan?

In Northern Ireland, I'm not sure, though I think it centred round education, health, social welfare, etc. Southern Ireland was refused aid under the Marshall Plan on the grounds that they had been neutral during WW2. Ireland did get some aid for being "Neutral" on the allied side - not detaining crashed US & British air crews etc. (Gremans were interned). The reconstruction of the viaduct at Fenit Harbour, Co. Kerry, was, I believe, funded from the Marshall Plan. I cannot get any confirmation or other details.
