Welcoming the announcement of funding, Cllr.

This funding will undoubtedly benefit many community and voluntary organisations in the area who intend to upgrade and develop their communities. I have consistently raised the importance of allocating funding to communities through these schemes since my election and assisting communities to further develop is, and continues to be, one of my top priorities as a public representative in North Cork”.
Cllr. O’ Shea added “I want to wish all the community groups successful in this allocation the very best of good luck with their respective projects during 2017 and I look forward to seeing the benefits of this financial allocation coming to fruition over the summer months”.
