supporting people coming to Ireland. This funding recognsies the efforts and the generosity that so
many Meath communities continue to show. Meath County Council will work in collaboration with
these local communities to develop these projects that will deliver long term benefits to those living

being funded today are designed to bring communities together and make them more vibrant places
to live, work and visit. I look forward to seeing the positive impact that this funding will have on the
ground in communities all across Ireland.”
