  • Portfolio of Straffan
    Straffan Portfolio ENTENTE FLORALE 2016 Straffan Straffan village is situated in north east Kildare at a particularly low lying point of the Liffey Valley, along the River Liffey and river Morrell. The village name is the anglicised form of the original Irish, Teach Srafáin, which translates as “Church of St. Srafán”, a saint of the early Irish church who resided in the area at the end of the 7th century. The second Irish name of the town, Cluaníní, means “little meadows.” The current form of the village is linked to the Anglo-Norman invasion of the 12th century. Norman leader, Strongbow, granted Straffan to Maurice Fitzgerald, ancestor of the Earls of Desmond and of Kildare. A fortress and stronghold was built in conjunction with the granting of land, as was common practice at the time. Today, Straffan village has a population of over 600 people, with an additional 1700 inhabitants living in the surrounding hinterland. Only 30km from Dublin, Straffan is situated close to the larger towns of Celbridge, Maynooth, Clane and Naas. On the roads entering Straffan you are met with hedgerows, tree lined corridors or stone walls before arriving in a beautifully maintained, village, centred on a pair of crossroads, on which are situated Roman Catholic and Church of Ireland churches. 13th century Barberstown Castle and The K Club, on the grounds of Straffan estate are two luxury accommodation options in the village with historical significance. In recent years, the K Club has also become synonymous with golf in Ireland, hosting the 2006 Ryder Cup, the European Open from 1991 – 2007 and the Irish Open in May 2016.

    Ar Misean le Chéile Uain Atúsaithe Seoladh na Litreach ag gairm Sionaid Deoisiúil Luimneach 2015 Inniu, Lá ‘le Íde, Pátrún na deoise, Máthair Altrama na naomh, Máthair Altrama Bhreandán naofa. I gComaoin na Naomh gabhaimid buíochas do Naomh Íde agus d’ár nEaspag Breandán. Braithim go bhfuil an litir seo agus an t-ullmhúchán go dtí seo don Sionad ina gníomh láidir aitheantais do na h-iarrachtaí ar athnuachain sa deoise seo ón Dara Comhairle. Mo bhuíochas do Éamonn Mac Giobúin, Karen Kiely, Margaret san oifig agus Micheál de Bhál anseo i gColáiste Mhuire gan Smal, do Chonradh na Gaeilge, Pobal an Aifrinn, do FÁS, do An Sagart. Ceann de mhistéirí an Chreidimh ab annsa le Íde agus naoimh eile ag tús na Críostaíochta in Éirinn ab ea an tAiséirí. Ar Leathanach 20 den Litir seo cuireann ár nEaspag an mistéir seo in ár láthair i bhfocail Phápa Proinsias: Ní eachtra a bhaineann leis an aimsir chaite amháin atá san Aiséirí. Tá cumhacht bheo inti atá tar eis leathadh ar fud an domhain. San áit ina samhalaítear gach rud a bheith marbh, bíonn borradh faoi comharthaí d’aiseirí... Ciallaíonn creideamh i nDia, creideamh go bhfuil grá fíor aige dúinn agus go bhfuil sé beo, gur féidir leis teacht i gcabhair orainn go rúndiamhrach, agus nach dtréigeann sé sinn agus go dtarraingíonn sé maitheas as an olc lena chumhacht agus lena chumas cruthaitheach gan teorainn... Beireann Aiseirí Chríost síolta an domhain nua sin; fiú má gearrtar siar iad, fásann siad arís, mar tá an Aiséirí cheana féin fite fuaite i ndlúth agus i n-inneach na staire seo mar ní shaothar in aisce a bhí in Aiséirí Chríost.

With your help, however, Save The Bay stayed the course through a turbulent year. On a personal and professional level, every member of our team had to adjust suddenly to a radically new environment, but the constraints we faced in 2020 did not prevent us from achieving important progress. Our education team pivoted quickly to create an interactive, remote learning experience called “Breakfast by The Bay.” Over the course of last spring and summer, our educators created a rich library of educational materials for children, parents and teachers, and refined our teaching skills to accommodate distance learning. We have continued to adapt our education programs to meet the needs of our educational partners in this most unusual year. From an advocacy perspective, we continued interacting with partners, regulatory agencies and the scientific community. Our team advanced restoration of freshwater wetlands systems, river systems and salt marshes. We helped Bay communities to plan, implement and secure financing for climate adaptation projects. The advocacy team also remained vigilant, monitoring development projects and helping prevent major loss of freshwater wetlands in Tiverton, while continuing to promote public access and working with Southside Providence community partners to build momentum for a new public access point along the Providence waterfront. In the spirit of making lemonade out of lemons, we also made the most of the forced closure of our facilities, public programs and events.
