Chairperson of the NCDF, Larry McCarthy, met with Minister of State responsible for Community Affairs, John Curran, a fortnight ago and outlined our case.
Larry made the Minister aware of the pressure on CDPs and the issues facing projects and their volunteers that are within his control and called for an end to any more cutbacks on community projects.
Minister Curran had seemed reluctant to meet the forum.
However, now both the senior and junior ministers in the Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs have met with the NCDF.
The next meeting of the NCDF is on Sept 23rd.
Anything that should be on the agenda, let us know in the comment section below (by name or anonymously) or tell your regional rep on the NCDF.
WRITE NOW! DON'T WAIT!
