While LDC colleague Margaret Larkin, Head of Operations, Donegal Local Development Company and Aisling Kirwan: Wicklow County Food Coordinator explain the nitty gritty of: challenges and opportunities of running a local food share project.

Here at Kilkenny LEADER Partnership we know the value of rural public transport.

We've completed action-research projects with bus services in the Lingaun Valley and along the Barrow.

As members of the European Rural Mobility Network, we're now co-hosting - along with and Renew Europe - a conference on the issue, right here in Kilkenny

Europe's Rural Mobility Future: Setting Standards will attract delegates from across continental Europe and around Ireland.
