QUESTION NO.6

QUESTION: Councillor Eoin Ó Broin

To ask the Chief Executive when a second 2022 round of funding for local Tidy Towns will be opened? It is assumed that there will be a second round given the small number of applications that were submitted during the first 2022 round.

REPLY: 

While some groups are in a position to draw down grants at this time, Community staff are working to support some groups to complete outstanding requirements to complete the process. A full balance on grant availability will be made available by year end. Groups who have completed all outstanding requirements and met drawdown requirements as outlined in the application form will receive funding in the coming month. As of week beginning Oct 10th, 2022 a payment of 12K to Clondalkin Tidy Towns group is imminent as all requirements have been met.
