If funding is not sustained to these local community developments we will regret it for years to come.

currently 4790 people have signed the petition opposing the privatisation of Local Development Companies. If you have not already signed and wish to support this campaigne please do so now. If you have signed please ask your family and friends to sign. Local election candidates from all parties, 4795 is a lot of people and as we all know, local elections can be won or lost on a very small margin. Government party candidates take note.... opposition party and independent candidates let us know what you are doing to oppose the privatisation of social inclusion programmes and help us decide who to vote for on May 23rd. PLEASE SHARE.

This type of support is invaluable and incalculable in its impact on small business - the backbone to the recovering Irish economy.

Our community would suffer a big loss if Ballyhoura Development were closed down, they've done so much good work and created jobs locally

I am a member of a gaa club and we are happy with work the Local Development companies does. It help to keep our dressing rooms and playing field in good order for underages and seniors players . Without it we would have to give more time and energy and money which we could not afford at the present time .

This type of work depends on local long term companies supporting local enterprise and training to local grass roots businesses. This can not be done by a profit driven company that has under priced the effort needed in order to win the tender to do the work and then are replaced by a new under bid price in the next tender. Unsustainable.

Without the support of the ballyhoura development - The headless horseman adventure race would not be in existence . It's now in its 4th year and I not only need the support we get , we value it .

Ballyhoura Development must not be closed. It would have a detrimental effect on our community of Knocklong as we have benefited greatly in the past 2 years both financially and in terms of their expertise in so many areas. We have many new projects in the pipeline which will need their help and support to bring to fruition.
