The fund supports the
development of facilities that will be used in the
future by all members of the community. It is separate
in its objectives and scope to any other public funding
streams which aim to support the development of public
service needs arising from the significant number of
arrivals from Ukraine.
Fifty million euro is available nationally under the
fund and this is allocated between each local authority
based on the number of new arrivals located there. On
this basis, the allocation to Donegal is €3,391,917.
The scheme will provide large capital grants ranging
from €50,000 to a maximum of €500,000.
Welcoming the fund, Councillor Niamh Kennedy,
Chairperson of Donegal LCDC said: “Donegal LCDC
acknowledge the ongoing important contribution
communities throughout the county are making in
welcoming and hosting people coming to their areas who
are beneficiaries of Temporary Protection and/or
International Protection Applicants".
The closing date for receipt of applications to the
scheme is 3pm on Thursday, 18th July 2024. Further
