Local community and voluntary groups are being invited to take part in consultation events to learn how communities can benefit from a new €4.6 million community fund linked to the Kildare–Meath grid upgrade.
The sessions will give local groups an opportunity to learn more about the community benefit fund linked to the project and to speak directly with EirGrid staff.
The funding will be released in three phases - when construction begins, mid-way through the project, and once it’s completed.
Information days will take place on Tuesday, January 27th, from 9am to 1pm on Naas Main Street, and from 1.30pm to 6pm at Monread Shopping Centre.
A further session will be held on Wednesday, January 28th, from 9am to 2pm on Clane Main Street.
Speaking on Kildare Today, Avril Watson, Senior Lead Engagement Specialist, outlined how locals can get involved.
