KCA funds St Patrick's Parade insurance

Kilcullen Community Action has agreed to fund the insurance for the second St Patrick's Day Parade in the town, which is being organised by Kilcullen Scouts, writes Brian Byrne.

The decision was made at the latest meeting of KCA, which was told that Martin Delahunt is the primary organiser for the event in 2014, with last year's originator and prime mover of the event Emma Birchall providing advice in a consulting capacity, as she is doing exams this year.

The insurance cost last year of €258 was paid by KCA. The organisation's chair, Esther Kiely, proposed underwriting the insurance again this year as 'well worthwhile' for the community.
