I am delighted to confirm that at the County Council meeting held on Monday 6 July, Elected Members approved the payment of an additional 80 separate grants totalling €204,130 in accordance with the Council’s Grant Scheme.

This latest round of approvals means that Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council has now awarded 347 individual grants totalling over €660,600 in 2015.

The purpose of the Council’s Grant Scheme is to provide financial assistance to individuals, groups and organisations engaged in projects, events or developments at local or County level. The emphasis of the scheme is on providing funding for a diverse range of projects from events, sports and heritage to community, arts and business. The Council encourages the development of as broad a range of local community activities and services as possible to ensure that the limited financial resources available are used to the maximum benefit of the community at large.
