Local Fianna Fáil TD for Louth Erin McGreehan has welcomed over €660,000 in funding for local community centres under the Community Centre Investment Fund.
The announcement which was made by Fianna Fáil Minister for Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht Dara Calleary will deliver enhancement and refurbishment works to community centres across Louth.
Welcoming this news McGreehan said, ” I was delighted to receive confirmation from Minister Calleary that the successful community centre projects announced today will receive capital grants of up to €100,000 under category 2 of the fund.
“Community Centres are the lifeblood of our communities. They play host to some of our most important occasions, in good times and in bad. Again in recent weeks we have seen the importance of these centres for their local communities as many of them became emergency hubs in the aftermath of storm Éowyn.
“I’d like to say a special congratulations to St Kevins GAA, who received €100,000 which will fund renovations to address structural issues, improve safety and functionality, and improve energy efficiency.
“Drogheda Community Services Centre also received €100,000 for the extension to the community centre, and I am delighted to hear this news, especially for all involved.”
”Today’s funding will empower these communities to continue to provide that much needed communal space.”
