Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection
Grants and Bridging Finance for Community Groups: Discussion
Mr. Allan Mulrooney:
That is a very good question. A number of county councils in our region have started to become more active in this space. Donegal and Clare have become very good at applying for European funding and drawing it down but they have taken that upon themselves and we are working with them across a lot of projects. I believe outside our region it is the same. There are county councils and other bodies that have started to see the focus and the opportunities within it. I stand to be corrected, but I do not believe there is another body that has the expertise across the country, which means there is a gap, if that is the case.
