However, with these further events that they would like to see take place this year I would just ask if it is possible for officers to go away and have a look to see if there is any further funding that could be tapped into or redirected to assist with the celebrations.”
The Chair of the committee, Councillor Dominic Molloy confirmed officers would explore what could be done to assist organisers arrange events to mark the occasion and a council officer confirmed discussion would take place with the events organisers.
“In relation to grant funding, it will be the grants process as normal but in relation to additional receptions and events to mark the centenary, we can certainly link in with the organisers and see what we can do.”
