We are very lucky in Ireland to have the opportunity to take part in policy creation from the very beginning. It is a way to shape the future of your county that not many people know about! Help your county include climate and biodiversity in all policy areas by taking part in the Strategic Policy Committees. Learn more next Tuesday at this introductory webinar from the Environmental Pillar. Register below.

You are invited to take part in local policy creation through the Strategic Policy Committees in your County Council. The policies developed by the SPCs over the next 5 years will be critical in enabling the County Council to play its part in both mitigation and adaptation of climate change and reversing the rapid decline in our essential biodiversity. You can help make sure that climate and biodiversity are considered by being a voice for nature on the Committees, ensuring that your community is included in these deliberations. The Strategic Policy Committees (SPCs) are the first step in creating and reviewing policy within the County Council. They are a unique way for the public to have a direct impact in the future of their County. Learn more about how the Strategic Policy Committees work and how you can get involved at our Introductory Webinar next Tuesday. Register here: https://tinyurl.com/spcintro2

We’re here to help, bringing back our famous children’s Halloween Swap Rail!

Visitors can swap their way to the perfect children’s Halloween costume, without breaking the bank, filling up the bin, or haunting their closet with unused costumes.

Pop into the Rediscovery Centre from Monday to Saturday, 9am – 5pm to swap!
