  • Camogie Association & GAA Information and Guidance Leaflet On
    Camogie Association & GAA Information and Guidance leaflet on the National Vetting Bureau (Children & Vulnerable Persons) Act 2012 March 2015 1 National Vetting Bureau (Children & Vulnerable Persons) Act The National Vetting Bureau (Children and Vulnerable Persons) Act 2012 is the vetting legislation passed by the Houses of the Oireachtas in December 2012. This legislation is part of a suite of complementary legislative proposals to strengthen child protection policies and practices in Ireland. Once the ‘Vetting Bureau Act’ commences the law on vetting becomes formal and obligatory and all organisations and their volunteers or staff who with children and vulnerable adults will be legally obliged to have their personnel vetted. Such personnel must be vetted prior to the commencement of their work with their Association or Sports body. It is important to note that prior to the Act commencing that the Associations’ policy stated that all persons who in a role of responsibility work on our behalf with children and vulnerable adults has to be vetted. This applies to those who work with underage players. (The term ‘underage’ applies to any player who is under 18 yrs of age, regardless of what team with which they play). The introduction of compulsory vetting, on an All-Ireland scale through legislation, merely formalises our previous policies and practices. 1 When will the Act commence or come into operation? The Act is effectively agreed in law but has to be ‘commenced’ by the Minister for Justice and Equality who decides with his Departmental colleagues when best to commence all or parts of the legislation at any given time.

  • Our 2010 Vacation in Ireland We Arrived in Dublin on Saturday, May 22 and Made the About 2-Hour Drive West to the Inny Bay B&B in Co
    Ireland 2010 Our 2010 Vacation in Ireland We arrived in Dublin on Saturday, May 22 and made the about 2-hour drive west to the Inny Bay B&B in Co. Westmeath, north of the town of Athlone in the Irish midlands, on Lough Ree. We learned a bit about using a GPS, because had neither a street address nor coordinates for the B&B. We had to get close and stop at a house to ask directions. The B&B is on private land at the end of a 2 km long private road. We took a three hour nap to adjust for jet lag, and then drove to the nearby town of Ballymahon where we had sea bass, and of course, potatoes for dinner. The Inny Bay B&B is a pretty place amid nice scenery, with pastures, swans, the lough and the Inny River. Sunday’s breakfast, like the others at this B&B was huge, with bacon, kippers, etc. We took a morning walk along the Inny River. Then we visited Locke’s Distillery Museum in Kilbeggan, Co. Westmeath. It’s said to be the world’s oldest licensed pot distillery. The works and museum were interesting and the sample of its whiskey was excellent. We next headed for Clonmacnoise, in Shannonbridge, south of Athlone. It’s an early (6th century) Christian site with an Abby ruin, a church (St. Kiernan’s, Church of Ireland), a tower ruin, and a graveyard noted for its Celtic (or “high”) crosses. On our way there we spotted a castle ruin and found the curator there.

Birr, like so many other magnificent country estates in the U.K. and Ireland, proves extremely expensive to preserve, to maintain and to run on day to day basis. Successful efforts have been made to date to ensure revenue is being generated through the estate to cover our basic cash flow requirements. To date, increasing annual visitors to the estate, a thriving museum and science centre, the development of the LOFAR Programme within the grounds, a retail shop with growing sales, and one of the most successful food and beverage offerings in Birr are all testament to the progress that continues to be made.

  • Ireland's 50 Best Placesto Stay2020
    IRELAND’S 50 BEST PLACES TO STAY 2020 From hip hotels to cool campsites, self-catering stunners to glamping escapes, Pól Ó Conghaile, Nicola Brady and Thomas Breathnach have the year’s hottest accommodation list his is not a normal list. Overthe pastweeks and months, we’ve been travelling the length and breadth of this island, from Donaghdee to Dunmanus Bay and Dub- lin to Dingle. We’ve visited hotels, B&Bs, country houses and campsites, mapped trends, and painstakinglywhittled findings T down to our Fab 50 finalists. St Patrick’s Week was our deadline. That’s traditionally when the tourism season kicks off, and with it the Irish Independent’s annual list of Ireland’s best places to stay. As long days lead to short breaks, here’s a selection you can trust. It’s not gathered via Google. We’ve spoken with owners and staff. We’ve listened to our readers. This is the third year of our Fab 50, and by now you’ll know we don’t focus on the usual suspects. We look for game-changing new arrivals, places that are stretching our understanding of the staycation now rather than trad- ing on former glories. We favour properties that continue to evolve and innovate (be it a design tweak, or a tasty new menu), and purposefully leave room for the unsung heroes of hospitality — from the Northern Irish couple who took a punt on log cabins to a sparkling penthouse in Cork or cosy shepherd’s huts in Cavan. It’s a distinctly Irish list, so we’ve also looked for creative investment in Irish design, art, food and community.
