Local Fine Gael TD, Fergus O’Dowd, has warmly welcomed news that over €323k has been approved for 112 local Louth projects under the 2022 Community Support Fund.
O’Dowd said “Energy bills and general overheads have crucified local organisations over the last 12-18 months and this modest funding will provide a welcome relief.
“The national funding of €10m was announced this morning by my colleague the Minister for Department of Rural and Community Development, Heather Humphreys, and was targeted towards enhancing and supporting facilities in disadvantaged communities.
Minister Humphreys said “I am delighted to announce almost €324,000 in funding for 112 local projects across County Louth today as part of my Department’s Community Support Fund.
“Through ‘Our Rural Future’, I want to support locally led, ground-up projects in local communities across the country. This funding is all about giving a helping hand to our local groups and clubs with their energy costs, whether it’s the electricity bill, insurance costs or other overheads.
“While these grants are small in nature, they can make a big difference by allowing local community organisations to carry out much needed works in their area.”
