QUESTION NO.26
QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor
To ask the Chief Executive to confirm what funding and assistance he has made available to each of the St Patrick's Day parades planned for the County and will he make a statement?
REPLY:
Community development and Event funding streams have been available to community groups since the 6th of February. Thus far we have received and approved two applications for St. Patrick's Day Parades.
The Lucan and Clondalkin, St. Patrick's Day Parade committees have each secured funding of €8000 for their respective parades. The expectation is that we will receive applications from the remaining groups who have traditionally delivered local parades in the coming weeks. The Community team have been in contact with all the groups who provided parades last year to provide guidance and assistance with the application process. Most committees are in the process of finalising their applications for funding.
