Taoiseach Simon Harris has announced €10,000 each for Baltinglass, Rathdrum and Kilcoole under the Town Centre First Town Team Support Fund.

This funding is aimed at helping local town teams address challenges such as vacancy and town regeneration in the areas.

Taoiseach Simon Harris has vowed to bring new energy to all towns and villages across Wicklow and this funding supports that pledge.

Speaking today, Taoiseach Simon Harris said: “Helping towns and villages regain some energy and be vibrant once again is a huge priority for me as Taoiseach and as a public representative in Wicklow.

“I am so determined we continue to fund towns and villages in a way that allows them to tackle vacancy and dereliction at source.

“The Town Centre first policy is a government policy that aims to bring new energy to towns and villages.

“I am truly delighted Baltinglass, Rathdrum and Kilcoole are in line to receive €10,000 each to breathe new life into the community.

Taoiseach Simon Harris added: “I want to see my Government continually focus in whatever way we can in making sure every town and village is supported adequately to face the challenges they face.

“Part of this is making sure we tackle vacancy, ensure safe streets with more Gardai on the beat, build new homes to increase homeownership for young people, put money back into people’s pockets and ensure we give every child the best start in life.”
