Community Development Projects
Dail Éireann — 2024-10-10
============================================================

Thomas Gould (SF), Cork North-Central

Will the Minister of State outline the supports in place to assist community organisations that do not have the capacity to apply for funding? In my experience, in many cases, community associations in more affluent areas with professional people have more capacity. On the opposite side, in working-class areas where great people are doing unbelievable work on the ground, many of them do not have the skill set to access funding. There is quite a lot of work involved in trying to access funding. The Minister of State might respond to the question, please.
