That this Area Committee request SDCC meet with ‘Clondalkin First Responders’ to investigate how best the council can support this new essential support group.

REPORT:

A member of the Community Development Team is available to meet with Clondalkin First Responders and can advise them on what supports might be available.

The Local Community Development Committee (LCDC) has previously provided support to community responder groups through the Local Enhancement Programme (LEP) funding.

At present, the LCDC is awaiting notification from the Department of Rural and Community Development and Gaeltacht (DRCDG) regarding the next round of LEP funding, which is expected to be announced in December 2025.

Details of any funding opportunities available under this programme will be advertised in early 2026.

Clondalkin First Responders are welcome to submit an application or seek advice on the programme once details are announced.
