SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO.22
MOTION: Councillor C. Brady
This committee calls on the Chief Executive to conduct a comprehensive review of community grants to groups in the LPNC LEA to assess whether current funding levels remain sufficient given the increasing costs faced by community groups. The review should evaluate the impact of rising expenses on the ability of groups to deliver services and activities, and, where necessary, what adjustments may be applied to ensure adequate financial support.
REPORT:
Community grants are reviewed annually, with recommendations to increase the budget made as part of the Council’s budget-setting process. In recognition of growing demand and rising operational costs faced by community groups, funding for all community development streams has increased over each of the past two years.
