Local Fianna Fáil Senator Erin McGreehan has welcomed €32,568.74 in funding to support 19 Women’s Groups in Louth.
Under the initiative, small grants are being provided to assist groups in every single county to enhance and improve their facilities and to purchase equipment.
She said, “These groups are working tirelessly within our communities to provide both young and old with an outlet to socialise, upskill, relax and so much more.
“I am constantly amazed by the work, community spirit and ethos of the many, many groups that give so much of their time to enhance and improve our communities.
“This funding further demonstrates Fianna Fáil’s commitment in Government to supporting and fostering strong, vibrant communities and ensuring that our community groups have the resources they need to continue their invaluable work.”
The funding is being delivered as part of The Local Enhancement Programme 2024.
This programme allocated €6 million in capital supports for community groups and organisations around Ireland, with funding of €1 million being ring-fenced for women’s groups.
