Killarney

<h3 id="redafact_headline6">€750,000 has been announced in funding support for community groups and projects across the county.</h3>
Details of who is to receive the funding was released by Kerry County Council under the Community Support Fund for 2022.
A total of 178 groups and projects, including 30 from the Killarney District, received grant aid worth €385,000 this year while a proportion of the fund, totalling €365,000, is being retained to leverage funding from other funding streams for strategic projects at Municipal District level.
The fund, which is in its eighth year, has now supported 1,778 projects to the value of €6m since its establishment in 2015.
As occurred in previous years, some of the Community Support Fund will be used this year to target strategic projects in the five Municipal Districts (MD) and to co-fund projects which are in receipt of grants from other sources.
Councillors from all five MDs met last week to decide on the allocations and unanimously welcomed the provision of support to the recipients.
Councillors congratulated all the community groups and acknowledged the tremendous voluntary work that these groups do.
Rebuilding and Reconnecting Communities
&#8220;This is a really important fund for hundreds of community and voluntary organisations and it allows them to carry out essential works and improvements in their localities,&#8221; Cathaoirleach of Kerry County Council, Cllr. Jimmy Moloney said.
&#8220;I want to pay tribute to the staff in Kerry County Council’s Community Department as well as our Municipal District staff across the county for supporting the applications process and liaising with group who avail of the funding.&#8221;
