Funding of €1m to help groups enhance local areas

COMMUNITY groups in Co Cork will be able to enhance their local areas with financing from a €1 million a special fund set up by the county council.

The Community Fund, as it is known, will be divided equally around the county, with €100,000 being made available to each of the council’s 10 electoral areas.

The fund was set aside from money the council received through the tax on second homes.
