Trust between people and the institutions established to serve them has been eroded. Populism and the concept of “fake news” and a post-factual society are gaining traction. This conference will bring together national and international speakers to address these issues from a range of perspectives. The conference will be chaired by Michael Clifford, journalist and broadcaster. Themes will include: Creating a new Social Contract for an engaged society; Equality, Inequality and Society in Europe; Business Unions and Society; Rural & Regional Communities and Public Participation and engagement in decision making. Early Bird registration includes conference book and lunch. Venue: Ash Suite, Croke Park, Dublin 9:30am to 5:00pm For more information on this conference and to register click here .

  • Social Housing Construction Projects Status Report Q3 2019
    Social Housing Construction Projects Status Report Q3 2019 December 2019 Rebuilding Ireland - Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness Quarter 3 of 2019: Social Housing Construction Status Report Rebuilding Ireland: Social Housing Targets Under Rebuilding Ireland, the Government has committed more than €6 billion to support the accelerated delivery of over 138,000 additional social housing homes to be delivered by end 2021. This will include 83,760 HAP homes, 3,800 RAS homes and over 50,000 new homes, broken down as follows: Build: 33,617; Acquisition: 6,830; Leasing: 10,036. It should be noted that, in the context of the review of Rebuilding Ireland and the refocussing of the social housing delivery programme to direct build, the number of newly constructed and built homes to be delivered by 2021 has increased significantly with overall delivery increasing from 47,000 new homes to over 50,000. This has also resulted in the rebalancing of delivery under the construction programme from 26,000 to 33,617 with acquisition targets moving from 11,000 to 6,830. It is positive to see in the latest Construction Status Report that 6,499 social homes are currently onsite. The delivery of these homes along with the additional 8,050 homes in the pipeline will substantially aid the continued reduction in the number of households on social housing waiting lists. These numbers continue to decline with a 5% reduction of households on the waiting lists between 2018 and 2019 and a 25% reduction since 2016. This progress has been possible due to the strong delivery under Rebuilding Ireland with 90,011 households supported up to end of Q3 2019 since Rebuilding Ireland in 2016.

  • Annual Report 2019
    ANNUAL REPORT 2019 FOREWORD Carlow is a progressive, vibrant County which is attractive, inclusive and accessible. Carlow County Council is committed to providing the highest quality public services for local residents, visitors and for new and existing companies, from multinationals to entrepreneurs and SMEs. Creating an environment for economic growth and driving quality of life for all is a priority for this Council. We are pleased to introduce the Carlow County Council Annual Report 2019, which outlines the work of the Council in delivering important public services during the year, all of which contribute to making County Carlow an attractive place in which to work, live and do business. 2019 has seen the strengthening of the Council’s role in economic development and community development and this is welcomed by all. It must be acknowledged that the changing economic climate both at national and local levels have made a defining influence on the extent to which our services are delivered. Despite the reduction in human and financial resources in recent years, Carlow County Council continues to deliver a high standard of service. The Council welcomes the easing of financial restrictions and the improving economic position. Our staff, with the support and leadership of the elected members, continue to maintain and deliver quality services as referenced in our Corporate Plan, whilst also keeping the Council on a firm financial standing. Similar to all local authorities in the country, Carlow County Council relies heavily on government funding. It follows that a reduction in overall funding can profoundly impact on our capacity to deliver our services and any increase in funding enables the Council to leverage these monies to provide additional and enhanced services.

  • Roinn Cosanta. Bureau of Military
    ROINN COSANTA. BUREAU OF MILITARY HISTORY, 1913-21 STATEMENT BY WITNESS. DOCUMENT NO. W.S. 1616. Witness John McGill, Palatine, Co. Carlow. Identity. Vice Commandant, 3rd Battalion, Carlow Brigade. Subject. Rathvilly Company, Irish Volunteers, Co. Truce. Carlow, Truce. Conditions, if any, Stipulated by Witness. Nil. File No S.2951. Form BSM2 STATEMENT BY JOHN McGILL, Palatine, CO. Carlow. I joined the Rathvilly Company of the Irish Volunteers at its formation in l914. It was a fairly strong company and? we were drilled by an ex British soldier named John Foley We had no arms whatever, but we drilled with wooden guns which I made in my workshop. About two months after the outbreak of the 1st World War, Mr. John Redmond delivered a speech at Woodenbridge, Co. Wicklow, in which he appealed to the Volunteers and the young men of Ireland to join the British Army and fight for the freedom of small nations. Shortly after this, Mr. Redmond mad& a similar appeal at a in the Mansion Mr. meeting House, Dublin. Asquith, the Prime Minister of England, also addressed this meeting and appealed for recruits for the British army. As a result of Redmond's appeals to the Volunteers to join the British army, the Volunteer movement throughout the country was split. As Redmond had tremendous influence in the country at that time, the majority of the Volunteers in each company sided with him. Our company simply broke up, but a few members of it did join the British army. National feeling in' the country was at a very low ebb until the Rising of Easter Week, 1916.
