Anne Haugh, Director of Rural and Community Development, Clare County Council, said: “Our four Rural and Community Development Officers (RCDO) engage with communities across Clare on an ongoing basis to promote collaboration and shared approaches to tackling the challenges confronting our rural and disadvantaged communities.”

She continued: “We are inviting local organisations to meet with our RCDOs at next week’s walk-in clinics if they require assistance in getting a project off the ground. The Officers also will provide advice to community groups about how to secure the necessary funding, as well as provide valuable information in relation to the many other supports available for community-based projects.”
