Fianna Fáil TD for Louth, Erin McGreehan, has welcomed the establishment of a new Family Resource Centre in Dundalk.
Deputy McGreehan stating, “This is a much-needed resource to support families who are struggling or who need extra help across the county.”
The new centre in Dundalk is part of a wider national initiative which will see the establishment of five new Family Resource Centres across the country.
Speaking about the announcement, Deputy McGreehan added: “This is fantastic news for Dundalk and the wider region. Wherever a Family Resource Centre is established, families and children benefit from the wide range of services provided. From education and training programmes, to counselling and support for those at risk or in difficulty. The work they do is invaluable, and the addition of this service to Louth will bring untold benefits to our community.
“These services form the cornerstone of many communities, providing trusted, inclusive support to those who need it most.”
Deputy McGreehan continued, “I want to sincerely thank Dundalk Counselling Service for their tireless work and dedication to the community. I wish them every success as they expand into this new role. I have no doubt they will continue to provide quality, trusted services to families and individuals who rely on them.
“The expansion of Family Resource Centres is about targeted, community-led investment that makes a meaningful difference in people’s lives. This commitment is set out in the Programme for Government, and I look forward to seeing further progress in the years ahead. I also want to acknowledge Tusla and the independent chair for their work in leading this important process.”
Concluding, Deputy McGreehan said, “These centres are vital to families in communities across Ireland. This new service will be a huge boost to families in Louth. I encourage any family who feels they need extra support to avail of the services that will be on offer.”
