O’Connell’s Secondary School delivered the award for the very first time and had 15 completions in 2018. You can find out more about the project by watching this video, which was created by Gaisce to highlight the Dublin Urban Project’s success - https://youtu.be/w0HAAyfBJjY Gaisce in Youth Justice To foster inclusivity and access to the programme, Gaisce hired a dedicated Youth Justice Development Officer to provide greater support to the organisation’s work among Garda Youth Diversion and Probation projects. This new appointment has already led to a surge in the number of PALs trained in these areas. The first ever Symposium for prison staff and educators - ‘The Award in Custody: A Shared Perspective’ - took place in 2018 and was programmed in partnership with the Joint Award Initiative and the Irish Prison Service.

The group received their Awards during our Dublin Ceremony at the Helix, 10th October 2018. In light of this group’s success, Gaisce successfully sought funding from the Coca Cola Foundation for a new project called Wavelength.

Higgins, presided over the largest ever Gold Award Ceremony in Dublin Castle. We were particularly delighted to see an increase, not only in the number, but range of organisations delivering Gaisce: in particular, more youth, community and disability organisations, and a 20% increase in DEIS schools offering Gaisce. We thank and celebrate the tremendous dedication and hard work of all the President’s Award Leaders, without whom, Gaisce simply could not exist. We look forward to another great year in 2019, celebrating 35 years in operation and continuing to support and recognise young people throughout their personal development journey.

  • Department of Defence and Defence Forces Annual Report To
    Department of Defence and Defence Forces Annual Report to the Minister for Defence for 2007 1 Foreword by the Minister I am pleased to present this Annual Report for 2007 encompassing the performance of both the Department of Defence and the Defence Forces. Ensuring the continued modernisation of Defence has been my main priority since becoming Minister. I am very pleased to be able to report significant progress in developing modern and flexible military capabilities. The White Paper on Defence set out a challenging programme of reform and modernisation for the Defence Organisation. Following a detailed review of the White Paper’s implementation, a report outlining the findings was published in April 2007. This report highlighted that substantial progress has been made and that the many detailed recommendations for change that were laid out in the White Paper, have been implemented or are being implemented according to agreed timetables. The report also concluded that all the detailed targets should be met within the time frame of the White Paper i.e. up to 2010 . I remain fully committed to ensuring the ongoing development of Defence in the years ahead. Among the significant developments that took place in 2007, were: • 1,646 members of the Defence Forces served with 19 different Peace Support Operations and postings in 2007, with numbers serving overseas at any one-time peaking at 830 personnel. • The Defence (Amendment) Act 2007 was enacted by the Oireachtas in April 2007. The purpose of this Act is to modernise the military code of discipline by amending Part V of the Defence Acts relating to summary procedures and courts- martial.

  • The Phoenix Park Conservation Management Plan September 2011 Minister’S Foreward
    The Phoenix Park Conservation Management Plan September 2011 www.phoenixpark.ie Minister’s Foreward The Phoenix Park is a historic landscape of international importance and one of the largest designed landscapes in any European city. It was originally established as a Royal deer park nearly 350 years ago and its historic continuity, together with its vast scale, urban setting and tranquillity, are the attributes that define it. The Park has over twenty-five kilometres of roads, seventeen kilometres of cycle lanes, twenty-seven kilometres of surfaced footpaths and eleven kilometres of perimeter wall. The Park caters for an average of nine million car journeys per year, the majority of which are merely passing through. The Office of Public Works has been responsible for The Phoenix Park since 1860. It is Ireland’s premier National Historic Park. It is the OPW’s responsibility to protect and preserve the Park on behalf of all the people of Ireland. This Conservation Management Plan confirms the Office of Public Works aims of conserving and enhancing the Park’s unique environments with creative policies to encourage access and opportunities for enjoyment, education and healthy recreation. I would like to thank the public for their valued inputs into the formulation of the plan. Likewise, the advice and suggestions from all public bodies has been invaluable. The expertise of the Conservation Management Plan Advisory Committee in providing the framework, guidance and formulation of the Plan has been immense. This plan supersedes the previous management plan, which has guided the management of The Phoenix Park since its publication in 1986.

    Louth County Archives Service © Joseph Dolan Papers, 1857 – 1935, 1957 (predominant 1901 – 1933) Repository Code: IE LHA Collection Reference Code: PP00118/ Title: Joseph Dolan Papers Dates: 1857 – 1935, 1957 (predominant 1901 – 1933) Level of Description: fonds Extent: 308 items Name of Creator(s): Joseph Dolan Admin/Biographical History: Joseph Dolan (1872 – 1930) was a businessman and a scholar of ancient classics and Celtic studies (namely myths, legends, archaeology and history) with a keen interest in antiquities, the Irish language, his local community, industry and enterprise and both local and national politics. He was born in Ardee, County Louth on 5th January 1872 to Thomas Dolan, a family grocer, wine importer, hardware and seed merchant and to Annie Dolan nee Segrave, of Dunany, County Louth. He had nine siblings, however, only three of them survived to adulthood: himself, his brother James or Séamus (1886-1924) who became a priest and served as curate in Collon (1914-1920) and in Termonfeckin (1921-1924) and his sister Anne or Nannie (b1883) who became a Sister of Mercy nun in Dundalk called Mother Bernadine. He attended Clongowes Wood College and the Royal University where he graduated with distinction in ancient classics. Upon his father’s death in 1902, Joseph Dolan took over the running of the family business that was begun by his grandfather originally at Bridge Street, Ardee before it moved to Castle Street. The 1911 census, which Dolan completed in Irish, records that in addition to Dolan there was his aunt Una Ní Shiochrú and six workers residing in the household. Dolan was an early supporter of the Gaelic League (Conradh na Gaeilge), an organisation set up to promote the Irish language.
