Boyle Family Resource Centre is set to receive funding of €146,000 under the Community Recognition Fund.
The Community Recognition Fund was first introduced last year to recognise the huge efforts made by communities in welcoming and supporting people coming to Ireland.
The announcement has been welcomed by Deputy Frank Feighan who said the €146,000 would allow further expansion and renovation of the Centre’s Counselling and Psychotherapy Centre.
In a statement the Boyle native said: “This funding alongside another €500,000 for Ballaghadereen Childcare Facility – The Growing Tree – to develop a fully serviced Childcare Facility is very welcome news for services in North Roscommon”.
“I would like to thank Boyle FRC management committee including Louise Moran, Sinead Raftery and officials from Roscommon Co Council for working hard on this project to ensure it got across the line”.
“In conclusion I wish to acknowledge the commitment of government in recognising communities who have played their part in welcoming refugees into their local area and ensuring that some really good projects to enhance community facilities can benefit from generous funding allocations”, concluded Deputy Feighan.
Senator Aisling Dolan aslo welcomed the announcement.
