Local Enhancement Programme awards

A total of €18,396 has been allocated to Kilcullen groups under the Local Enhancement Programme, writes Brian Byrne. The LEP has been around under various names since 2018, providing capital support for many small community groups and organisations.

The programme is administered by the Department of Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht.

The local allocations for 2026 are Kilcullen Scouts €1,554, Ballyshannon Community Hall €9,754, Camphill Communities of Ireland €2,317, and Kilcullen Community Action €4,771.

The funds have been welcomed by Agriculture Minister Martin Heydon TD, who said local groups and clubs across the country are vital to Irish community life, and these grants will go a long way in supporting them in their work.
