Closure of CDP a Significant Loss- Nugent

Closure of CDP a Significant Loss- Nugent

Sinn Féin councillor Mick Nugent has described the impending closure of the Community Development Programme in Farranree as a significant loss to the community.

Cllr Nugent said:

"The CDP is due to close on Friday when two FAS workers who had been providing services on a temporary basis are reassigned."

"While the crèche will continue to operate, a range of services, including home-work clubs, computer courses and assistance with CVs and job-seeking, will cease."

"It is disappointing that the new government has not reversed Fianna Fáil's policy of cutting community services. This is not just bad for communities like Farranree, it is a false economy. Tackling exclusion at its root is cheaper than dealing with its consequences later on."
