The Town Team Support Fund, a first of its kind initiative, targets towns without previous Town Teams or those that have recently established them.
Additional funding of €30,000 has been allocated to three South Kildare towns under the Town Centre First Town Team Support Fund.
The allocation, with €10,000 designated for each town - Monasterevin, Kilcullen, and Ballymore Eustace - is intended to assist in establishing or developing Town Teams in these areas, as part of efforts to revitalise town centres.
