Orla thanked for 'huge' work

Orla O'Neill was thanked by the membership of Kilcullen Community Action at their last meeting for the 'huge amount of work' she had done to progress the recent Community Survey, writes Brian Byrne.

The acknowledgment came after a long discussion on how best to organise the Implementation Group which is being formed to carry out the 'Kilcullen 2017' enterprise and community development plan which has derived from the Survey.

Eighteen people registered their interest in being involved in the implementation process after the recent public meeting which discussed the findings of the Survey.

The main thrusts of the 'Kilcullen 2017' plan, which is being launched officially in the Library on March 5, are in Enterprise, Tourism, Health and Community Development.

Although the implementation is not a specific KCA project, the tone of the discussion at the KCA meeting was that there would need to be some centralised structure to the Group which would keep KCA informed, and which would also coordinate the activities of the sub-groups acting on the main areas of the plan.

The meeting heard that Kilcullen Credit Union had offered facilities for meetings of those involved in the Implementation Group.
