Childcare public meeting date confirmed

Kilcullen Community Action is hosting a Public Meeting on the 16th of February in the Town Hall Theatre, at 8pm, writes Iseult O'Donoghue, to look at the options available to our community regarding the Community Childcare Centre.

Due to the huge reaction to the news that the grant earmarked for the development of a state-of-the-art Community Childcare Centre has been lost, it was felt that an open and public forum was needed to discuss the issue and potential future initiatives.

The meeting will have an independent Chair and will hear from all parties involved in the previous campaign to secure the Centre; we will also hear from people with expertise in the area of community childcare and education, and we will hear about potential sources of funding for any future projects.

There will be opportunities for the audience to respond and participate in the discussions and all members of the community are invited to attend.
