Laois community is set to have a warmer, greener and cheaper to run facility for events and activities.

The Camross Community Hall committee has announced that it is delighted to share some "good news" with work supported by a €24,860 grant in 2022.

"In 2022 Camross Community Association successfully secured a Community Centres Investment Fund grant which allowed us to start an Energy upgrade in our old Community Hall. Cavity wall and attic insulation were identified as a priority project.

"In 2019 our Community Development Plan had outlined our plan to seek funding to improve our halls energy efficiency.

We employed Eirgreen a local Portlaoise retrofit company, they pumped the wall cavities with -Kingspan Eco Bead and added extra insulation material to the attics," they said. MORE BELOW PICTURE.placeholder image

The work was completed by March 26.

"The work was completed this week and the building already feels warmer," they said.

The people of Camross have been working hard in recent years to develop and upgrade community facilities. They opened the The Fr John Lalor community complex when they also celebrated the launch of our new Park and Hub building completedd after intensive fundraising.
