Transfer ownership of the Straide Davitt Community Hall to the community of Straide

The people of the community of Straide fundraised for, and provided labour for, the construction of the Straide Davitt Community Hall. The local community group, the Straide Community Development Group, on behalf of the community via fundraising  & with the help of government funding organisations, invested almost €300,000 in the refurbishment of the building and upgrading of services. They now find themselves stymied by their Landlord, the Michael Davitt National Memorial Company CLG, who are unwilling to extend the existing lease unaltered so that the community can avail of a €50,000 CLÁR grant. It is time for the community to reclaim their community centre.
