MEETING OF LUCAN/PALMERSTOWN/NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, September 28, 2021

QUESTION NO. 14

QUESTION: Councillor Shane Moynihan

To ask the Chief Executive as to what Community Grants will be made available to encourage the restart of festivals in the Lucan/Palmerstown/North Clondalkin area over the coming 18 months.

REPLY:

As we emerge from Covid related restrictions the Community Development team will be available to provide advice and financial support for local community events, summer projects and seasonal festivals, similar to supports made available prior to the start of the pandemic.  Grants are currently available to local community groups for Halloween activities and we plan to actively engage with local communities to ensure that festivals and community events are supported into 2022.  The community grants system is online and we will keep Councillors and local community groups updated about key funding deadlines as they arise over the coming months.
