Barraduff Community Field Organisation will get €15,157.40 in funding to upgrade its facilities.

It is one of 19 community centres across Kerry that will receive funding of €385,312 to upgrade facilities which will benefit users of all ages, according to Deputy Government Chief Whip, Brendan Griffin TD.

Deputy Griffin was speaking after Minister for Rural and Community Development, Heather Humphreys, announced the successful projects under Category 1 of the Community Centres Investment Fund.

“I am delighted that my colleague Minister Humphreys has made this funding available to Kerry community centres given the vital work that staff and volunteers there do and the invaluable services they provide," Deputy Griffin said.

“The Community Centres Investment Fund was launched by Minister Humphreys in April 2022 with funding of €15m available under three categories. The key theme of the fund is to support community groups with the upgrade and development of their community centre facilities."

Another local group, Tureencahill Community Group Limited, will get €22,378.06 under the scheme.
