  • Cork Age Friendly Town Fund Application
    CORK AGE FRIENDLY TOWNS Application Form for the Age Friendly Town Programme Queries to be addressed to: Name: Noelle Desmond 021 4285161 Email [email protected] OR Mary Creedon 021 4285557 Email [email protected] Applications are sought from interested towns for Age Friendly status under the Cork Age Friendly County Programme. Kinsale Age Friendly Town was the first age friendly town in County Cork and was subsequently followed by Bandon, Cobh and Mitchelstown. It is intended to replicate the success of the age friendly towns project in other towns across County Cork. The successful towns will be supported by Cork County Council and the Age Friendly Alliance through the Age Friendly Programme. Funding of €5000 per year, for two years, will be available to enable implementation of the Age Friendly Initiatives. The development of an Age Friendly Town will involve a clear four stage process which is outlined in the attached summary document. This will be reflected in the number and types of actions identified in the implementation plans. Implementation of longer term actions is ensured by embedding them in the operational and strategic plans of the Alliance and participating stakeholder organisations, where possible. It is expected that key professionals and agencies locally will participate in the consultation, planning and the implementation process as well as being an inherent member of the local steering committee. Closing date for applications is Friday May 29th at 4pm. Completed Application Forms should be returned

  • Making LDS Goals Easily Measurable to Capture N.04 LEADER’S Added Value Country, Region: Ireland, County Cork Organisation: Local Action Group- IRD Duhallow
    This Infosheet is part of a series of relevant practice examples that Managing Authorities and Local Action Groups have used while implementing the LEADER approach in the 2007-2013 period. The series aims to extend the reach of rural development policy by highlighting what works well in the design and delivery phase of Local Development Strategies (LDS). Making LDS goals easily measurable to capture N.04 LEADER’s added value Country, Region: Ireland, County Cork Organisation: Local Action Group- IRD Duhallow AT A GLANCE Objectives The objective is to promote coherent links between the broad goals of the Local Development Strategy (LDS) and the actual projects undertaken so as to improve targeting and monitoring and thus enhance the measurability of LEADER’s added value. Key elements of the approach The most important aspect of this practice is to split the broad objectives of the LDS into smaller, measurable elements. The main goals of each LDS are attributed a specific list of measures which are animated and monitored by the LAG’s Thematic Working Groups (WG) covering more than one measure and cooperating on topics of shared interest. Lessons learnt Local needs and LDS targets can often be too complicated and diverse for the European Commission’s Common Monitoring and Evaluation Framework (CMEF) to handle. The solution is to pay close attention to the design and monitoring of the LDS level objectives, targets and indicators – and to consider the linkage to the regional and national Rural Development Programme (RDP) reporting along with the CMEF indicators. Page 1 Objectives and background LEADER has been criticised for its inability Sometimes the links between the to demonstrate the results achieved and hierarchy of goals and objectives are not its added value.

The parish is situated on both sides of the river Blackwater, and on the new Bogra road from Kanturk to Cork: the new Government road to King-William's-Town and Castle Island passes through that part of Clonmeen which lies to the north of the Blackwater.
