Chairperson of Athy RAPID AIT, Cllr Richard Daly is delighted to announce that it has secured in excess of €94,000 for local community projects from the Dormant Accounts funding.
“Youth activities , Arts groups and community development programmes are all included in the €94,911 which has been sanctioned for Athy. I would like to pay special tribute to Helen Dowling the RAPID co-ordinator who assisted all of the groups in compiling their applications.
By supporting organisations like those who are today’s recipients we can try to positivily discriminate in favour of a town which has seen more than a fair share of economic decline over the years.
I am delighted to congratulate the RAPID team in progressing these applications” said Cllr Daly
