Athy Youth Café has now moved to Part 8 which is the equivalent of Planning permission, or the stage prior to tender and construction, according to Action for Youth Chairperson, Cllr Richard Daly.
Conversion of the old Dispensary on Meeting Lane has already secured funding of €200,000 for its conversion because of prioritisation by the RAPID committee and staffing of the Café is being finalised.
The Youth Café will benefit from having a town centre location and will offer a drop in location for young people in a safe environment. Young people and parents have been requesting such an alcohol free venue for many years and we are delighted that we seem to have overcome all of the obstacles which delay such projects.
ENDS
