Community development planners eye €750k grant

An East Cork local authority is to consider investing a further €70,000 in a youth and community project to help the scheme’s co-ordinators acquire €750,000 in grant aid.

However, a further request for a loan of €30,000 is less likely to be met.

The grant has become available through the SECAD (South and East Cork Rural Development) programme, but must be accessed before the end of July.
