Kilcullen groups get enhancement grants

Three Kilcullen organisations have benefited to a total of €4,220 under the Kildare County Council Local Enhancement Programme 2025, writes Brian Byrne. The allocations were made by the Local Community Development Committee.

Kilcullen Town Hall & Heritage Centre has been allocated €2,979, Kilcullen Bridge Cinema €625, and the 9th Kildare Kilcullen Scouts €616.

The LEP is funded by the Department of Rural and Community Development and a total of €233,001 was available this year. Applications could be made to support either Capital and Equipment, the bulk of the available fund, or Running Costs.

Cllr Tracey O'Dwyer says she was delighted to see Kilcullen projects benefit from the Community Enhancement Grant. "The Kilcullen Bridge Cinema in particular has brought such joy to the entire town, and we are so fortunate in Kilcullen to have a Community Heritage Centre. They are both really worthy projects and I’m sure the funding will be put to good use. The Scouts are also a long-established part of the Kilcullen community and an important resource for families through generations."
