Residents Associations in Council Estates.

When a Residents Association is set up the following needs to be in place to obtain Council support.


• A general meeting held where all households are invited to attend.


• Nominations / Volunteers for committee. (This can be done at the meeting)


• When committee is in place the following officers need to be elected. It can be easier this way as people might not be inclined to let their name to go forward for specific positions in a public forum:
 Chairperson
 Hon Secretary
 Treasurer. While an Asst Sec can be done without you should have 2 people handling money.
 Asst Treasurer
 Trustees

 

  1. Bank account opened in the name of the Association. 2 of 3 nominated committee members to sign cheques or make withdrawals.
  2. Contact made with agencies that can help e.g. Community Garda, SECAD, Foiroige, Community Worker HSE.
  3. Action plan for first year.
  4. Then Committee can apply for funding and for Public Liability Insurance.
