Clann Credo is committed to building stronger communities by providing social finance for community growth. Since our establishment in 1996, we have lent over €137m to more than 1,900 groups and organisations.
We have invested in a range of climate action projects, including the development of Ireland’ s first eco-village at Cloughjordan, supporting a range of groups participating in the annual Better Energy Communities Scheme, and most recently helping Ireland’s only community-owned electricity supplier, Community Power, to expand their operations.
We see communities across Ireland as playing a pivotal role in the transition to a lowcarbon society, and as a community development organisation we are keen to see effective supports put in place to enable community involvement in and benefit from this change. From this perspective, we have the following comments on the draft terms:
