Speaking today, Minister Humphreys said:
“I’m delighted today to announce €16.5 million for 185 projects right across the country. This major investment, under the Community Recognition Fund, will support the upgrade of sports facilities, community centres, walking trails, parks, playgrounds and so much more. The projects are diverse in nature – demonstrating the fact that communities have different needs."
She continued: “All the projects being funded today are designed to bring communities together and make them more vibrant places to live, work and visit. This investment is just the first of a number of tranches that will be announced under the Community Recognition Fund over the coming months. This is about giving back and saying ‘thank you’ to communities for what they do week-in, week-out. I look forward to seeing the positive impact that this funding will have on the ground in communities all across Ireland.”
