Cllr Alan Lawes stated that he believes Taxpayer's money should not be given away at the whim of Councillors since it is undemocratic and could be misinterpreted as buying voters. If the money was returned to the Council pot it would be a missed opportunity for the people of Navan. Therefore, the Navan public is being offered this opportunity to say where the money should be given and it will be repeated throughout his 5 year term in office.
The 2022 Navan Municipal District Councillor Discretionary Fund is €15,000 and many charities are in immediate need of financial support due to the Covid-19 Health Emergency. Cllr Alan Lawes has therefore elected to divide this year's fund equally between 5 charities so that each will still receive a 'once only' worthwhile and meaningful amount.
All the charities previously nominated have automatically been entered into this year's vote with the exception of the previous winners.
