Home

Welcome to www.infowaterford.com

This site has been developed to serve the entire community of County Waterford, Ireland. The LEADER Programme, a European rural development programme, run by Waterford Leader Partnership Ltd., has funded this very innovative programme. This project endeavours to up-skill people, especially those who are over 55 years of age, in information technology and in the use of this community website.

Each community in Co. Waterford is invited to join the website and input their own community news and so make the site a must for people wishing to know what is happening in rural County Waterford.

Waterford Leader Partnership hope you will continue to use the site and that it will continue, long into the future, to provide the opportunity for all the communities in Co. Waterford to promote their organisations, clubs and activities.
