EUROPEAN LINKS

A number of local development companies are working in the County Kildare area to assist disadvantaged members of the county. Action South Kildare Ltd. and the Offaly and Kildare Partnerships are two such groups. Both groups are funded by EU Global Grants. Both these, and the EU funded Rural Development Company, KELT, and the County Enterprise Board are working to raise the standard of living in the county. As a result, the people of Kildare are aware of the advantages of being part of the EU.
