The Square, Listowel, on Wednesday 2nd November at 4 pm.

It brings employment to theatre professionals and artists, and live performance everywhere, including harder to reach communities. Our van is kitted out as a mobile venue, crewed by professional technicians. Evolving since Covid, we democratise arts access, increasing the potential for engagement for a wider audience profile.
In 2022, we are touring Shared Music Sessions to Ukrainian and other refugee accommodation centres in 20 Counties. We create and deliver unique, enjoyable, engaged, meaningful experiences.

CycleConnects: Ireland’s Cycle Network aims to improve sustainable travel by providing the potential for more trips on a safe, accessible and convenient cycling network, connecting more people to more places.
Proposals for cycling links in key cities, towns and villages in each county are included in the plan, in addition to connections between the larger towns, villages and settlements. The plan also incorporates existing and planned cycle routes such as greenways and blueways.
The draft proposals envisage an extensive cycling network across the 22 counties, complementing the cycling plans already developed for the Greater Dublin Area (Meath, Kildare, Wicklow and Dublin). Together these plans will create an overall comprehensive cycle network for Ireland.
The proposals for each county can be accessed by clicking on the map and are also listed in the dropdown menu below. Each county contains its county cycle network, urban cycle networks (for all towns with a population of 5,000 or more) and a technical note. A high-level summary report, FAQs and associated supporting documents are also available to view.
The consultation will remain open until the 11th of November. Submissions can be made through this portal using the ‘Make a Submission‘ link, or by email to: activetravel@nationaltransport.ie

Our Rural Future: Minister Humphreys launches new initiative to support Women’s Sheds From Department of Rural and Community Development
|
The Minister for Rural and Community Development, Heather Humphreys, has announced a new fund of €100,000 to support Women’s Sheds.
The initiative, the first of its kind, is in recognition of the fact that there is a growing number of Women’s Sheds across the country.
Unlike Men’s Sheds, Women’s Sheds do not currently operate under a single national representative body.
This makes it more difficult for them to avail of supports such as government funding.
Minister Humphreys this week met a delegation of women from across the country who are actively involved in running Women and Sister Shed’s in their communities.
At the meeting, she discussed ways in which her department can assist Women’s Sheds, including with the provision of grant funding.
Minister Humphreys announced that €100,000 will be set aside in her department’s Budget specifically to support Women’s Sheds.
The grants which will be in the region of €1,000 – €2,000 could be used to assist Women’s Sheds to expand within their communities, to run activities or to help them with their running costs such as insurance or rental costs.
Any Women’s Shed interested in availing of funding should get in touch with the Department of Rural and Community Development via womenssheds@drcd.gov.ie

Minister for Community Development and Charities, Joe O’Brien TD, has launched an agreed set of Values and Principles for collaboration and partnership with the Community and Voluntary Sector.
The launch took place at Outhouse Resource Centre, Capel St in Dublin, a community and voluntary organisation supporting the LGBT+ Community, their friends, families and allies.
The publication of these Values and Principles copper-fastens the renewed relationship and partnership between Government and the Community and Voluntary sector, which has been central in addressing the crises of recent times.
Developed by the sector, in partnership with Government, the aim is to support values such as social justice, and active participation along with principles like respect, collaboration and value for money.
The Values and Principles will be used by central and local government, as well as state bodies, as a basis for their interactions with the community and voluntary sector in pursuit of the best outcomes for all communities.
