The Department of Sport in partnership with
Irish Public Bodies and Local authorities announced funding to create
and enhance sport and recreational facilities in local areas. Drogheda
Skateboard Park has been allocated the maximum amount of funding
available at €58,000.
'It is terrific news that €58,000 has been allocated to Drogheda
Skateboard Park as I am sure it will be put to great use and will
improve an already wonderful for young people interested in the sport.
Allocations such as these are vital to local communities and I am very
much welcome that funding have been allocated to a youth oriented
project in this instance.
'This announcement comes just one day after the allocation of €50,000 to
Drogheda's Boomerang Youth Cafe and €50,000 to Omeath Youth Cafe. It is
of the utmost importance that we continue to provide outlets and
funding to the youth in our community. Projects such as the Skateboard
park and the youth cafes give kids a safe and fun environment in which
they can go to meet with friends and that parents can trust.
'I welcome the two announcements of funding in recent days and look forward to the positive impact they will have in Co. Louth.'
