MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

QUESTION NO. 12

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

To ask the Chief Executive to confirm what assistance is being afforded to groups throughout the County in support of St Patrick's Day activities; will he give details in each case and will he make a statement.

REPLY:

Provision is made within the Council's Revenue Budget 2019 for Community Services to support local St. Patrick's Day parades and celebrations organised by local voluntary organising committees across the County. 

Last year four local parades were held in the villages of Tallaght, Lucan, Clondalkin and Saggart.

The local community development teams have circulated funding applications to all four groups but to date a completed appliction for funding has only been received in respect of the Tallaght parade - applications received will be assessed and as much funding as possible within the budgetary provision will be made available to support planned parades and events.
