A fund of €250,000 has been shared between community organisations across County Kilkenny.
The Community and Cultural/ Intercultural Facilities Capital Scheme is funded through development contributions and allocated by Kilkenny County Council.
It has been described as a positive recognition of the huge amount of voluntary work in organisations crucial to community life.
Welcoming the grants, at last week’s meeting of Kilkenny County Council, Cathaoirleach Andrew McGuinness said he was, however, disappointed that no city groups had been awarded grants. He asked that all unsuccessful applicants be given feedback and guidance as to why they had failed to secure a grant.
