FOUR COMMUNITY groups in the Rosslare area shared in funding of almost €18,000 as part of the fourth round of the Carnsore Wind Farm Community Fund.

Hibernian Wind Power Ltd, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the ESB, presented the awards at Our Lady’s Island Community Centre recently.

Four groups will benefit from funding. Our Lady’s Island Community Developmen­t Company Ltd will put the funds towards the purchase and installati­on of new energy efficient doors and windows.

St Mary’s Day Care Centre in Tagoat will use the money to upgrade to new, cost-efficient and environmen­tally-friendly lighting at their premises.

Scoil Mhuire in Our Lady’s Island will put the funds towards the constructi­on of a completely green and biodegrada­ble garden.

Finally, Tagoat Foróige Youth, will use the money to renovate their outdoor playground.

Majella McCarron, Stakeholde­r Manager at ESB, said: ‘We remain committed to creating a brighter future for all by being a good neighbour and supporting the community we operate in. Through the Carnsore Wind Farm Community Fund, we aim to contribute to the developmen­t of local projects and services for the benefit of all local people. We are delighted to see such valuable funding going to local projects, which will benefit the local communitie­s for many years to come.’
