Over 200 local people involved in a series of community consultations have informed the drafting of a set of aims for the town of Passage West. These have been encapsulated into a Strategic Plan which you can read at this link:
The Passage West Strategic Plan was completed in conjunction with Cork County Council and with the leadership of SECAD (South and East Cork Area Development) under the first round of Urban and Village Renewal funding from the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht.
The Ballincollig-Carrigaline Municipal District has distributed over €225,000 through the Municipal District Grant to community, voluntary and sporting groups and to residents associations throughout the Municipal District.
Since this grant scheme was set up three years ago, over €830,000 has been allocated through the scheme to assist local groups. The funding has proved invaluable to a wide variety of organisations and the Council continues to receive very positive feedback about what the grant scheme helps them to achieve.
