<h3>Cathaoirleach of Kenmare Municipal District and Deputy Mayor of Kerry, Councillor Michael Cahill, has welcomed Cl&aacute;r funding for a number of schools and sports clubs across the county.</h3>
The funding was part of an announcement of &euro;179,191 for six Kerry projects, made earlier this week, by Minister for Rural and Community Development, Heather Humphreys TD.
