Over €200,000 in funding has been allocated to Kerry County Council under the Local Enhancement Programme for 2026.
This funding will provide capital supports that are essential for many small community groups and organisations in the county, particularly those who serve disadvantaged communities in rural and urban areas.
There will be a particular focus on small capital works, and the purchase of equipment for community use for improving access for persons with a disability and enhancing community participation for disadvantaged and marginalised groups, among other uses.
Funding will be available to a diverse range of community groups including, but not limited to, community centres, parish halls and local voluntary groups.
The funding was announced by Minister Dara Calleary, and has been welcomed by Minister for Disability and Kerry TD Norma Foley and Deputy Michael Cahill, as well as Senator Mike Kennelly
