As part of the initiative, grants of between €1,000 and €4,000 will be provided to almost 900 TidyTowns groups right across the country. Groups who entered the SuperValu TidyTowns competition in 2021 or 2022 will be eligible.
Government published the details of how Tidy Towns committees can avail of the funding and encouraged all eligible groups to apply.
O’Loughlin said “Our local tidy towns groups do wonderful work to keep our local towns and villages looking so well. I want to thank all local volunteers who give up their free time to serve our communities.”
All eligible groups will be contacted before Christmas to confirm their funding. Applications for funding must be returned to Pobal no later than February 28th 2023. Late applications will not be accepted. All projects and initiatives funded through this support must be completed by July 31st, 2023.
