Dunleer Community Development Board

The Dunleer Community Development Board is a voluntary, not-for-profit community based umbrella body which was established in 1999 by a number of volunteers, residents and community activists, after having been in gestation for a number of months through the interim deliberations of the Dunleer Steering Committee who played a part in drafting the articles of association, and how it would be managed.

The Board grew out of an idea to have a single body representing Dunleer Town, a single voice that people in authority could engage with the town in idetifying and accomodating the community's needs.

The idea was not a new one, and had been attempted a number of decades previously, when a body called: Dunleer Community Council tried to do something similar, but unfortunately it ceased to exist in the late 1970's.
