More About the Rathlin Development & Community Association

The Rathlin Community Association was established in 1978 and after alterations to the constitution, its name changed in 1986 to the
Rathlin Development and Community Association (RDCA).

All people aged over 18 years and resident on the island for at least 8 months in the year or who has the island as a permanent home address are members of the RDCA.

The RDCA is concerned with:

  • Improving the quality of life for those living on the island.
  • Ensuring that basic services and infrastructure are provided.
  • Encouraging appropriate economic development.

The members of the RDCA Committee for the 2010/2011 year are:

  • Noel McCurdy, Chair

  • Margaret McQuilkin, Vice chair

  • Patricia McCurdy, Secretary

  • Damien McFaul, Treasurer
