DECLARATION OF SUPPORT FOR IRISH LOCAL DEVELOPMENT COMPANIES

keep bottom up approach and local led development where individuals and communities have a say in what happens in their communities

it is important that local partnerhsips continue to deliver the local developemnt strategies.

Our local development officer Seamus Doran has provided excellent support which has assisted our growth both in terms of exports and job creation.

I have been involved in a conservation project which could not have been progressed without the support of the Local Development Agency.

The cldc initiative is vital to local deveopment all over the county. To interfere with its core structure and subsequent funding will prove diasterous to future development and training within local communities.

We are very happy with the level of service supplied by the IDP. this is an excellent organisation providing much needed services in our local community. We have serious concerns in connection with the proposed local government reforms which would see local authorities taking control of the LEADER programme and the local community Development programme. The delivery of these programmes is excellent as they stand and we would not like to see things change. Thank You

Great work is done on the ground by the Local Development Companies and as been already said "if not broke why fix it"

Local Development Companies should continue as the lead in local and community development. The service offered by the staff at West Limerick Resources will not be equalled by any other organisation taking over this area of work. They know the people and the area and are willing to put hugh amounts of time and energy into helping communities and individuals

The work of this organisation is an excellent template on how to help the marginalised people in Irish society. The excellent and often hidden and unappreciated creative work of this group of very talented people deserves to be better known and supported.

We should not lose this, they do great work for the local community. They do great work.
