Community Development Projects
Dail Éireann — 2022-12-15
============================================================

Heather Humphreys (FG), Cavan-Monaghan

The grant of €300,000 will ensure that the centre does not just survive but thrives in future. The centre in Hartstown was in the ownership of the diocese, but it is now being taken over by Fingal County Council. This is a good thing. The support of the local authority will be of great help in future. We are happy to work together. I come from a rural area, and the community centres there are nearly all run by volunteers. Few centres are owned by local authorities. I am happy, though, to work together because it is the communities we want to focus on.
