Inishturk Community Club CLG is to benefit from €11,474 in funding under the new ‘Our Islands’ measure from the Department of Rural and Community Development under the CLÁR Programme to support community infrastructure projects

Welcoming the news, Mayo TD Deputy Alan Dillon said “This CLÁR programme has been tailored to specifically support our island communities and to make our islands a more attractive places to live and visit.

"The funding for community groups is on top of the €1.62 million announced by my colleague Minister Humphreys this week to support community first responders across the country.

“Inishturk Community Club CLG is a non-profit community enterprise responsible for running services and facilities on Inishturk Island, they are also responsible for development, tourism and events on the Island and are an extremely hard working committee.

"I am delighted to see this funding going towards the purchase of fencing to secure and make safe the boundaries of the playground on the island.”
