Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Rural and Community Development

Last November, I was delighted to launch the 2022 Community Support Fund (CSF) under the Community Enhancement Programme, with funding of €10 million to assist local community and voluntary groups across the country with a multitude of costs including energy and utility bills, other operating costs, minor upgrade works and small capital purchases.

The funding is administered on behalf of my Department locally by Local Community Development Committees (LCDCs) across the country, with support from their Local Authority. The CSF is now closed to applicants. My Department is currently finalising the required details for the remaining Local Authorities under the CSF and I expect this to be completed shortly.

Details of successful projects will be published on my Department’s website www.gov.ie/drcd in the coming weeks.
