The Community Association Darragh Cross has been going through a lot of change
over recent years as more houses go up, more children enter the community and people from all sections of society become resident
in Darragh Cross. While the controlled growth of Darragh Cross is welcomed, with that growth comes new challenges to an area
of much tradition and what years ago was a quite rural hamlet. It soon became clear that Darragh
Cross had no formal voice or mechanism to address these issues with the relevant authorities. A clear message was coming
back that Darragh Cross needed to setup a Community Association for the area, a Community Association that is inclusive,
cross community, transparent but respectful of the history, culture and traditions of Darragh Cross area. A Community
Association that ......... - Will work to improve the overall way of life for Darragh Cross;
- that would liaise with statutory and voluntary
agencies in the interest of Darragh Cross
- that would facilitate contact between the
local community and agencies such as District Councils, DOE, Social Services, Politicians, Political Parties, Education boards,
organisations in neighbouring communities
- that would continue to promote the traditions, history and culture
of the community
The Community Association will
try addressing the social, economic and environmental needs of Darragh Cross. Darragh Cross Community Association is a formal and legal organisation, bound by
a constitution, is cross community, was elected by the community and will be used to improve the overall standard
of life of all the residents and children of Darragh Cross and district.
