The Summer School will cater for 80 people from across the world who are tackling Development challenges such as poverty, inequality, conflict, Natural resource depletion, food security and renewable energy. Bobby faced stiff competition from across Europe to lead this conference and his selection is seen as positive validation of the work in which DP is involved in.

They work at home and abroad to bring about a more just, equal and sustainable world through education and action. Bobby is the co founder and current Director of DP as well as working as a Development Studies Lecturer in Dundalk Institute of Technology. On hearing about his selection to lead the conference, Bobby commented on the need for problem solvers in our communities more than ever before and made the point that problem solving is the focus of DP`s work. “All of us involved in DP work hard to make a positive contribution to our communities and I see this opportunity as one more way of encouraging people to understand how the world around us works and how we as people can be powerful agents of change in our own right”. Bobby urged people to support the work of Development Perspectives by signing up for their forthcoming event – “Tour D Boyne, Land of Legends Challenge”, which is being held in Townley Hall on the 20th of March.

Student Enterprise at DkIT ran there first annual Enterprise week this week. Student Enterprise Interns Emma Brabazon and Catherine Murray organised and ran the week at a great success. Student Enterprise at DkIT is dedicated to promoting, devel- oping and sustaining enterprise among students in DKIT. The aim of Student Enter- prises first annual Enterprise week was to help students find out more about enter- prise and to encourage participation. Student Enterprise welcomes Sean Gallagher on campus! Starting off the week with a bang was Sean Gallagher one of Irelands leading entre- preneurs and a dragon of the Dragons Den. Student Enterprise @ DkIT held it’s most successful event to date this week as Sean Gallagher inspired, motivated and enter- tained over 260 students in the Whitaker Theatre. Sean inspired students assuring them that entrepreneurs are our societies heroes and it is those with the drive and motivation to move forward who will help our country emerge from its current state of negativity. Our resident Dragon encouraged students not to underestimate the power of focus and determination and also more importantly that of positivity and the ability to look beyond and move past our nations current negative state of play. Sean discussed a solution to our national crisis as simply three C's including confidence, clarity and credit. Sean also went on to confirm the message so often conveyed by Student Enterprise @ DkIT in that the future of our nation is in our own hands, never accept a lack of op- tions, but instead strive forward and create your own career alternatives. Student Enterprise @ DkIT would like to convey a sincere thank you to Sean Galla- gher for kindly donating his time and also to all lecturing staff and students involved in the event in particular to Mario Mac Blain, Colman Ledwith, John Sisk, Paula Reilly and Colin Cooney for their continued support. Student Mobile Shop in action! On Tuesday you were sure to have seen Molly Malone the Student Mobile Shop in action around the college. Student Enterprises latest development is the Molly Malone Student Mobile Shop that gives students the opportunity to sell their products or ser- vices around the college on a rental bases. As part of a project, final year Marketing students promoted Molly on Tuesday generating some excellent awareness. A special thanks here to Ami Carbini, Shannon Sweeney and Mary Mc Donald. Staff Conference “The Role of Enterprise in DkIT” Student Enterprise @ DkIT invited all staff of DkIT to a short seminar which covered the role of enterprise in DkIT, as well as the role of DkIT in developing an enterprise culture, across the Institute of Technology sector countrywide.

  • Don't Tax Our Health Choices!
    DON’T TAX OUR HEALTH CHOICES! From March 1st 2019 the Government will be applying VAT at 23% to all Vitamin, Probiotic & Food Supplements. These supplements have been VAT free for the last 40 years! A2 POSTER CODE: VAT03 A4 POSTER CODE: VAT04 +23% Available from Wholefoods VAT HEALTH IS NOT A LUXURY! SIGN THE PETITION TODAY! @stopthisvat www.stopthisvat.ie What is happening: The Revenue Commissioners have decided that on March 1st 2019, 23% VAT will be applied to all health food supplements. This includes Vitamins, Probiotics and Fish Oil. What does this mean? On March 1st 2019, retailers must apply 23% VAT to all health food supplements, resulting in a 23% price increase for consumers. Such a sudden and radical increase in taxation will put a huge strain on consumers and cause many to have to reconsider their approach towards managing their health. This is bound to seriously damage the local Irish businesses that are the cornerstone of the industry sector, particularly if consumers turn to the international Internet to try and obtain a better priced product. What can I do: • Sign the petition (online and in-store) which can be found at www.stopthisvat.ie. • Additional petition hardcopies are available from Wholefoods Wholesale (product code: VAT02). Wholefoods drivers will happily take completed petitions back from you. Please ensure that all petitions are returned to Wholefoods by February 18th. • Actively encourage customers to sign the petition and highlight what VAT will mean for their purchases. • Email or write to your local minister or TD. Sample text can be found on page 3 of this document.
