🌟 Meet the people behind Development Perspectives 🌟

Next in our staff introductions, we’re delighted to introduce Eolain Downey.

Eolain has a strong passion for sustainability, active citizenship, and global affairs, and brings a thoughtful and creative perspective to his work. Having completed a Master’s in International Politics, he is especially interested in connecting global issues with practical action and exploring sustainable solutions to everyday challenges.

An experience that particularly shaped this outlook was living on and renovating a 1960s barge, which highlighted the gap that can often exist between understanding environmental issues in theory and putting sustainable living into practice.

Eolain is passionate about building bridges between ideas and action and is excited to continue learning and engaging with others through the work of Development Perspectives.

Outside of work, he enjoys nature, sports, games, and travel, and loves connecting with people who want to make a positive impact on human rights and global sustainability. 🌍🌿

We’re delighted to have Eolain’s enthusiasm, curiosity, and passion as part of the team.

Development Perspectives was honoured to host an event in Drogheda last night calling for the Occupied Territories Bill to be passed. We were joined by Senator Frances Black and Faten Alsourani, who spoke powerfully about why the Bill matters and shared the realities faced by people living through the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Drogheda Stands with Palestine also spoke about their ongoing actions and future plans.
The Government has stated its support for this Bill, but has yet to enact it. It is time to honour those promises and pass the Occupied Territories Bill immediately.
