Funding may be available from my Department for rural areas, under the Rural Development Programme 2007-2013, to support certain community actions such as playgrounds.  Such actions under the programme are implemented by Local Development Companies contracted by my Department. They are the principal decision-makers in relation to the allocation of project funding and contact should be made with them directly. The contact is this case is Wicklow Partnership http://www.wicklowpartnership.ie/. Local authorities also provide services such as playgrounds. This is a matter for each local authority and my Department does not provide specific funding to individual local authorities towards this end.
