Muckalee Community Centre has been awarded €40,000 under the Community and Cultural/ Intercultural Facilities Capital Scheme );
A fund of €250,000 has been shared between community organisations across County Kilkenny.
The Community and Cultural/ Intercultural Facilities Capital Scheme is funded through development contributions and allocated by Kilkenny County Council.
It has been described as a positive recognition of the huge amount of voluntary work in organisations crucial to community life.
Welcoming the grants, at last week’s meeting of Kilkenny County Council, Cathaoirleach Andrew McGuinness said he was, however, disappointed that no city groups had been awarded grants. He asked that all unsuccessful applicants be given feedback and guidance as to why they had failed to secure a grant.

Fears that a second line of electricity-line pylons could be erected across south Kilkenny were calmed at the recent meeting of Kilkenny County Council.
As part of their ‘biggest ever public consultation’ on the future of electricity in the country EirGrid representatives gave a presentation and answered questions from councillors.
The meeting heard that while a lot of infrastructural work is planned it will be to replace existing poles and lines and to secure the existing electricity supply.
Michael Mahon, chief infrastructure officer with EirGrid, assured councillors there are no proposals for new infrastructure as part of this consultation process.
