Added January 17th, 2013

Limerick Fine Gael TD Patrick O’ Donovan has welcomed the news that Phil Hogan, T.D., Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, today has given sanction for Ballyhoura Development Ltd to approve funding of €194,146 to Fedamore Community Hall Group for the refurbishment of Fedamore Community Hall and funding of €200,000 to Doon Community Council to refurbish Doon Community Centre under the Basic Services for the Economy and Rural Population measure of the Rural Development Programme 2007-2013.

“These funding announcements will be of immense benefit to Fedamore and Doon with their respective total project costs of €258,862 and €266,667. There is no doubt that these projects will improve the quality of life and will strengthen the social and economic fabric of these areas.”

“I welcome the allocating of this funding to two very deserving projects in the County Limerick. Everyone knows that Government finances are very restricted, but I am delighted that the government is ensuring targeted funding like LEADER mains, focused on the development of micro-enterprises, rural services, rural recreation and rural tourism. It is hoped that, by focusing on these services, the Programme will lead to sustainable development, which in turn will ensure prosperity for the rural areas.”
