KCA ship sails on with familiar crewThe officers and directors of Kilcullen Community Action Limited agreed to serve for another year at last night's AGM of the community organisation, writes Brian Byrne.

Esther Kiely is in the chair, Kieran Forde is treasurer and Ray Kelly is secretary.

In accordance with the articles of the company, Niall McDonnell and Celia Travers resigned as directors, and were reappointed.

Esther Kiely reviewed the activities of KCA during the last year, which included the usual activities of the Tidy Towns effort, the commissioning of a Biodiversity Survey, the Summer Flowers and Christmas Lights projects, the maintenance of the Community Playground, support for the St Patrick's Day Parade organised by the Kilcullen Scouts, and the Community Awards.

Kieran Forde noted that finances were very tight with the ceasing of the grants from KTK Landfill, and cuts in grants from Kildare County Council. He expressed his thanks for the financial support from the community through donations towards projects, and support for fundraising events such as the Table Quiz and Street Collections.
