Thousands of euro in grant funding has already been put to some good use in one rural village.

They’ve been given more than €37,000 which chairperson of the group, Janice Joyce says has already helped them in the upgrading of equipment in their local centre.
She’s been telling KCLR News “it’s a valuable asset to the community here in Rathvilly, it must be 15-20 years since equipment came into it so we’re delighted with the new equipment especially the new tables & chairs which we’ve already bput into use & we’re more coming in January & we’re looking at what else we can do with the grant.
