My Department's mission is to support vibrant and sustainable communities across this country, and in doing so to deliver on a wide range of strategic interventions, funding programmes and policies to support urban and rural communities. In 2019, my Department published Sustainable, Inclusive and Empowered Communities - A five year strategy to support the community and voluntary sector in Ireland 2019-2024. The strategy reaffirms the Government’s commitment to supporting the sector.
The Community and Voluntary Energy Support Scheme (CVESS), administered by Pobal on behalf of my Department, provided one-off energy supports to organisations within the community and voluntary sector which fell outside the parameters of other energy support schemes being delivered by Government.
Pobal's records indicate that the organisation in question was awarded €528 under the fund, with payment issuing on 1stMarch 2023. The organisation may contact the relevant section in Pobal at the following email address, if they wish to verify the payment details: energyscheme@pobal.ie
