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.
The Marshall plan was to help restore Europe after WWII, helping the people there turn toward productive jobs to help themselves. It was funded by the U.S. taxpayer, carried out by the U.S. Government.
The Marshall Plan was, indeed a loan. No, the Marshall plan was not a loan. It was aid. There were loans made but they were not part of the Marshall Plan itself.

Not. Spain & Finland were the only two (non comunists) countries ostracized of Marshall Plan.
Marshall Plan, named after George C. Marshall, who was then US Secretary of State under President Truman.

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.
