Investment of €1.3m in 18 Community Centres across Tipperary

Published 2 weeks ago 19th March 2025 by Reporter

In a statement released by Deputy Michael Murphy, TD, he states: “I am delighted to announce details of the successful projects under the Community Centre Investment Fund 2024 for Tipperary, almost €1.3m for 18 Centres across the County.

“Today, Government are investing significant resources into important community centres. – this will be transformational for our towns and villages across Tipperary, including €100k each for centres in Fethard, Cahir, Rosegreen, Knockavilla and €90k for the Elm Park Community Complex in Clonmel.

“Our community centres bring people of all ages together, whether it be for sporting, educational or social occasions.

They are vital for engaging with those who may find themselves marginalised and they give everyone in the community a great sense of belonging.

“I want to see us build, stronger, more vibrant communities – places that for so many people act as a home from home.

“Our Community Centres are the cornerstone of community life in many towns, villages and cities around the county.

“I want to thank the communities who have worked hard to get this funding over the line and especially all those who work tirelessly to deliver this funding on the ground.

“The continued investment in rural and urban communities to support local development is of paramount importance to me.

“Investing in infrastructure and community life was a key priority of mine in the campaign and I want to see us deliver on that in Government, day in and day out.

“I want to see sustainable, resilient communities thrive and I am proud to see Tipperary local initiatives receiving the recognition and support they deserve.”

“This funding will also enhance the county’s capacity to provide critical services, community activities, and a greater quality of life for residents.

These upgrades align with ongoing efforts to improve the social fabric and economic prosperity of Tipperary,” concluded Deputy Murphy.
