The balance of € 4,800 is to come from Cavan County Council,’ confirmed Cavan Fianna Fáil Councillor, John Paul Feeley ‘This allocation will allow for the provision of new top-quality equipment in this well used children’s facility and ensure that the facility is available to children from the locality for years to come.’ ‘Over recent years funding has not been available to carry out the kind of works required to keep these facilities at the proper standard and provide for the needs of children in rural communities such as those in West Cavan.’ ‘I look forward to seeing the new equipment installed in the not too distant future so the children locally can continue to exercise and a healthy and safe environment.’ ENDS Contact: (087) 6989304 John Paul Feeley County Councillor, Stranamorth, Blacklion, Co.
