Applications are being sought for the fourth annual Community Grants Scheme in Co Clare.

Clare County Council is welcoming applications for the 2019 scheme from community groups in the Shannon Municipal District.

The €30,000 scheme aims to support community groups engaged in a wide range of cultural, artistic, heritage, sporting, educational and community work.

Cllr Gerry Flynn, Cathaoirleach of Shannon Municipal District, said: "The scheme is used mainly to encourage existing groups to develop and enhance their current activities, whilst also encouraging them to develop new and innovative ideas. There is a specific focus on projects which promote culture, local heritage and adult life-long learning; as well as projects which generate civic pride and local community development."
