Burke welcomes Community Services Programme funding

Castlebar Municipal District Fine Gael Cllr Cyril Burke has welcomed the funding announced by Minister Michael Ring in relation to the Community Services Programme.

Cllr Burke said: "These community organisations run badly needed services for our communities and this funding is critical to their existence. Funding of €89,000 to Castlebar Social Services, €40,000 to Ballyheane Community Sports Club, €112,000 to Ballintubber Abbey Trust and €92,000 to Castlebar Community Radio is most welcome in the Castlebar Municipal District.

"In fact the funding for Ballintubber Abbey Trust couldn’t come at a better time as we set about a huge funding campaign to carry out a major development at the historic Abbey."

Cllr Burke has requested that a presentation be made at the next Castlebar Municipal District meeting by the Trust along with members of the Tourism/Community departments of the county council to explain to the general public the plans for Ballintubber Abbey and the stage the project is currently at.
