Developing the Green Economy in Ireland

Dr Jonathan Healy, a Senior Policy Advisor with Forfas visited DkIT this week to discuss the recent report „Developing the Green Economy in Ireland‟.

Dr Healy suggested that the Green Economy is the one part of the global economy that it growing and that most countries have promoted it in their economic stimulus and recovery packages. The „Green economy‟ is expected to be worth $800 billion by 2015 globally. He believes that Ireland has many advantages globally in this areas because of our natural wind resources, R & D and strengths in areas such as ICT.

This part of the economy is related to economic activity in new areas as a response top climate Dr Jonathan Healy & Catherine McCluskey, change and the need for sustainability and will also School of Engineering be driven by the needs of all business and social activities as alternative energy sources are sought and as countries seek a competitive edge. Areas of activity will therefore be found in wind energy, eco-construction, waste management, and water management and the economy will also be „greened‟ as all aspects of business adapt to sustainability (green accounting, business ethics, climate justice, ICT, agriculture, green tourism for example). Dr Healy believes that the Green Economy could potentially create 80,000 jobs in the coming years in Ireland.

Dr Healy believes that as well as specific professional skills, there is a need for HE to provide education in Sustainability and big picture thinking. He also thinks that there will be a need for generic competencies such as communications, leadership, creativity, innovation and adaptability skills.

Many thanks for your co-operation, Emlyn McGinn DKIT undone by Fellow County Man DKIT Freshers Footballers bowed out of the football championship for 2010 after suffering a two-point defeat at the hands of foes Maynooth played in the Kildare village on Thursday last, February 11th. DKIT who succumbed to the Kildare outfit last November at the semi-final stages of the league, started sluggishly and after 15 minutes were four points to one down with their solitary score coming from corner forward Niall Farrell (Nobber-Meath). However with Brian Fitzpatrick (Oliver Plunkets) and Bernard Mulligan (St Josephs) gaining a foothold in midfield and Darragh Matthews (Oliver Plunkets), Colm Barry (Bective-Meath) and Damien Whelan (Kilanerin-Wexford) working tirelessly for the breaking ball, DKIT produced a marvellous fight-back in the latter stages of the first half. Scores from the boots of Shane Tierney (Lavey-Cavan) and Farrell and the accurate free-taking from Eanna Atkinson (Cremartin-Monaghan) led to the DKIT Freshers going into the half-time interval one point to the good.

Half-time: Maynooth 0-05:0-06 DKIT

The second half started frantically with play moving from end-to-end albeit without any score to show for both teams‟ endeavours. However ten minutes into the second half, a slip in the DKIT defence created a goal scoring opportunity for the home side which was finished with aplomb. Credit to the DKIT lads though who rolled up their sleeves and fought their way back into the tie. Points were exchanged before James Craven (Geraldines) expertly finished his goal scoring chance to see the DKIT outfit regain the lead. With DKIT on top, Maynooth were dealt a further blow as they went into the last ten minutes with 14 players after their centre back was shown two yellow cards. However with Louth man Shane O’Hanlon orchestrating proceedings for the Maynooth men, DKIT failed to capitalise on the numerical advantage. Both teams traded scores leaving just a single point between the sides with time almost up. Up stepped O‟Hanlon who notched over two points in quick succession to give the Maynooth men the lead once again. With the game deep in injury time, the bounce of the ball fell in favour of the home side and left O‟Hanlon with the opportunity to add his sixth score of the game, which he duly did. Devastation could only sum up the atmosphere at the final whistle as DKIT just fell short against a much-fancied Maynooth side.

Full-time: Maynooth 1-10-1-08 DKIT

The game was a hotly contested battle from the first whistle to the last with scores level on no fewer than eight occasions throughout. On this occasion however the rub of the green went in favour of the Kildare outfit who now go on to the semi-final stages as favourites to claim the Freshers Football Championship title. DKIT can hold their heads high. Hopefully the experience gained will stand the group in good stead as the team gears up for the Freshers Championship later in the semester.

Best for DKIT were: Shane Tierney, Richie McDonnell, Darragh Matthews, Damian Whelan, Enda McCaffery

Freshers Championship Match against NUI Maynooth DkiT denied at the death!!

On the road again, this time south to Waterford, DkiT were hoping to qualify for the quarter finals of the national college B team Cup. Travelling with a severely depleted squad, missing ten players, Dundalk knew they were up against it, but like they have proven before, they came out fighting.

Playing into a strong breeze in the 1st half, the away side showed why the have been underestimated with some great passages of play in the opening ten minutes and came close through Leo Martin's cross shot just skimmed the outside of the post. But they suffered a set back in the opening ten minutes losing not only their captain Paul Martin through injury, but also their fearless center half Brendan O'Donnell retired due to injury also.

They found themseleves under some pressure from the home side, yet they where not able to get past the mountain defensive work the away side was putting up to them. Ciaran Quaile and Simon Honan where both doing well getting forward and the latter created a great opening for John Bingham who's neat one two with Jay O'Neill lead to a great shot stopped by the home keeper. Dundalk then suyffered a set back when Waterford scored a fortuous goal after a shot goal wards hit their striker and over the head of MeEvoy. Dkit answered back almost right away when Sean Hand found Leo Martin out wide who crossed for Jay O'Neill to tap in. 1-1.

The second half Dundalk took control of the game creating openings for the tireless Kevin Loughlin and Bingham. They where helped by a rock at the back in the shape of Collie Nolan. DkiT then took the lead when Joe Flynns interception lead to a break away up their field where Bingham won a free kick. The free kick was fiercely dispatched into the bottom right hand corner by Sean Hand. Emmet O'Brien started to create more openings witrh his mazy runs but DkiT were unable to find the breakthrough they needed. Water- ford then found another strike in the back of the nest through another flukey deflection and were back in it! The game wore on with DKIT really only creating any sort of chances when the home side broke forward and a scramble in the box lead to a penalty after a shot goal wards hit the arm of Leo Martin who couldn't get out of the way and was harshly sent off. The spot kick came right at the death and was dispatched. DkiT had but seconds to equalise but it was not enough. The better team on the day, did not go through.

The management would like to thank this squad for their effort and commitment this season in which they had no luck. Lets hope for better success next year.

Squad- Michael McEvoy, Simon Honan, Ciaran Quaile, Brian Fitzpatrick, Adrian Rafferty, Collie Nolan,Chris McGrath, Zubi Isuguzo, Paul Martin, Emmet O'Brien, Paul Drumgoole, Leo Martin, John Bingham, Kevin Loughlin, Andrew Synott, Dean Mulligan, Ciaran Hamilton, Hugor Maviese, Alan Devine, Jack Dempsey, Jay O'Neill, Stephen McGrath

Report by Johnathan McGailey DKIT vs UU (University of ) DKIT Wednesday 10th Feb 2010

DKIT ladies soccer team came out on top to a score line of 4-0 against UUC, unfortu- nately Captain Emma Singleton was absent due to injury but cheered the girls on from the sideline. Both teams struggled to get a grip of the game in the early stages. UUC started the brighter of the two staging a few attacks down the left wing that were cut out with ease by the strong DKIT back four of Shauna Balfe, Karen Wynne, Aoife O‟ Rourke & Emily Mangan. The DKIT began to find their feet and soon mounted a relentless wave after wave of attacks on the UUC goal seeing many of the efforts saved by the inform keeper or flash wide of goal. After the first few opening encounters it was clear that the DKIT were much the better team however they failed to convert their possession into goals against a ten player UUC team who to their credit never gave up and always showed enthusiasm. The DKIT made many good attacking moves, particularly down the wings where winger Kerrie Doyle was linking up well with striker Laura English and left back Emily Mangan & striker Aisling O‟ Rourke were also linking up well. The opportunities were coming and the constant attacking style of DKIT players Alisha Jordan & Francesca Fernandes was causing the UUC defence all sorts of problems. This attacking style was evident as the remainder of the half was very quiet for the back four and goalkeeper Una Pearson. The opening goal of the game came when Laura English on the receiving end of a great pass finished well past the UUC keeper. DKIT‟s Alisha Jordan then scored before half time to make the score 2-0 at the break. The second half started much the same as the first half ended with the DKIT mounting continuing pressure on the UCC defence. The DKIT stringed together many slick passing moves involving Emily, Mary Beth Wynne, AJ & Fran. UUC began to find their feet once more and mounted some pressure on the DKIT defence which was cleared effectively. The DKIT always looked dangerous in front of goal and may rue many missed chances that flashed wide of the post or sailed over the ball. Francesca found her shooting boots and converted two well taken goals, the pick of the two being a quick break where she was on the receiving end of an excellent pass which left her one on one on goal and she slotted home with a cool finish. Substitutes Sinead Bradley and Mary Hoey came on in the second half an also played very well. The final whistle blew with both teams showing great conduct by shaking hands and congratulating each other at the final whistle. DKIT now stand joint second in their group and hope to qualify for the knockout stages if a previous game can be replayed. DKIT team: Una Pearson, Shauna Balfe, Karen Wynne, Aoife O Rourke, Emily Mangan, Kerrie Doyle, Alisha Jordan, Francesca Fernandes, Mary Beth Wynne, Aisling O Rourke, Laura English, Mary Hoey & Sinead Bradley.

Learning for Change: Connecting Local and Global Education

Thursday, 11 March 2010, 10:00am – 4:30pm, Camden Court Hotel, Camden Street, 2

Keynote speaker: David Selby, Sustainability Frontiers

Conference facilitator: Chris Chapman, Change Exploratory

The Centre for Global Education‟s 2010 conference will attempt to identify the common principles that underlie various methodologies for „learning for change‟, i.e. what kind of education results in the learner altering their lives and action choices to achieve a common goal of a just and sustain- able world. The conference is meant to inspire, and bring together a community of educators to allow us to connect with each other and realise that we are not isolated in the work that we do. We may have different foci, target audiences, methodologies and parameters but we share a common goal of inspiring learners and creating active citizens who want to engage with the world around them to make it a better place. We have been thrown into a world of chaos, and it is time to identify the change agents that can allow us to take control and promote more rapid and posi- tive change in our communities and beyond. The conference aims to support the work of participants by looking into the theories beyond learning for change and providing in-depth work- shops on selected methodologies that can be adapted to different organisational and individual needs. Keynote speaker David Selby will address „Transformative Learning in Interesting Times: Thoughts from a Darkened Corner‟:

“The fields of global education, education for sustainable development, education for sustainabil- ity and other related fields are concerned with addressing the confluence of social and environ- mental crises faced by human society, as threat and uncertainty loom ever larger in our lives. Their agenda is about developing understanding, skills and dispositions in learners so they are equipped for proactive change agency and change advocacy. But, does the agenda match with the actual crisis in the human condition or, if we were to look in corners we avoid, do we arrive at a radically different agenda that readies the learner for the real crises and transfor- mative potentials of our time? What, then, does learning for change look like?”

Workshops include: Moving from the Local to the Global in Community Settings: Poverty and Health Facilitated by: Helena McNeill & Rachel Dempsey, Lourdes Youth and Community Services

Experiential Learning: What is it and how do we optimise its effectiveness? Facilitated by: Bobby McCormick, Development Perspectives

Exploring global development through music & radio Facilitated by: Darren Ferguson, Beyond Skin

Positive Images: Promoting positive attitudes towards asylum seekers and refugees Facilitated by: Orla Devine & Neil Thain-Gray, British Red Cross

CONFERENCE FEES: £20 / €25 (WAGED) £10 / €20 (UNWAGED) A coach will be provided from to Dublin and return the day of the conference at an addi- tional cost of £15. Limited space available. Fees include lunch, tea and coffee.
