Michael Lowry TD, speaks of the upcoming RTÉ series DIY SOS which features the home of the late Michael Barry and his surviving wife Sinead and three children. The sad and untimely death of Michael has left a major void. He speaks of the amazing community spirit of Dundrum, Annacarty, Cappawhite and in fact the entire county of Tipperary.
The DIY SOS team are embarking on a 9 day project from September 17th to September 25th to finish the dream home of the late Michael Barry for his family.
"I was invited to be part of the local action committee and have been impressed with the generosity and support of the people involved. The DIY SOS is a very welcome initiative. Already numerous trades people with various skills have volunteered both their talent and time to help complete this worthy project. Among them at my request are the team from Heart to Hand Charity who are an experienced group of volunteers. I greatly appreciate their kindness.
To complete the house we need more skilled volunteers and general labourers.…. Please help

On Saturday September 7th Hurling Legends from Tipperary & Limerick will go head to head and take to the pitch once again but this time to support The Alzheimer Society of Ireland (ASI).

Players such as Brendan Cummins, Michael Ryan, Colm Bonnar, Eddie Tucker, Michael Cleary, Declan O Meara, Kevin Tucker, Brian Gaynor and Liam Sheedy will meet their counterparts from Limerick Joe Quaid, Ciaran Carey, John Kiely, Willie Walsh, Mike Nash, Garry Kirby, John Quaid,Gerry Quaid ,TJ Ryan

This fundraising initiative was the brain child of the dynamic duo, Kevin Quaid and Kathy Ryan, two leading Munster dementia advocates, who both have a dementia diagnosis. The idea was formed over a cup of tea when they were discussing ways to give something back to The ASI after everything the charity had done for them – so the inaugural ‘Kevin Quaid and Kathy Ryan Legends Cup’ was created which will bring Tipperary and Limerick hurling legends of yesteryear together to battle it out for the prize come September.
Kevin Quaid, who is originally from Broadford in Co Limerick but now living in Kanturk, Co Cork, was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia in 2017 aged just 57, is an avid GAA fan and speaks about the fighting spirit of the Limerick hurling team and the fact they never gave up. He brings that same spirit to his life with dementia and has written a book called ‘Lewy Body Dementia, Survival and Me’.

Kathy Ryan was diagnosed with Younger Onset Alzheimer’s in January 2014 at the age of 53 and is a mother to two boys and lives in Cashel, Co Tipperary. Kathy got involved in advocacy work because she wants to break down the stigma of dementia and last September she completed part of the Camino to raise funds for The ASI.

As you can imagine this game means so much to both Kevin & Kathy.

The game will take place at 5pm in Nenagh Eire Og with a reception following the game in the Abbey Court Hotel in Nenagh and of course we will be joined by the Liam MacCarthy Cup!!

Tickets are available here - https://bit.ly/2YWeQKd, we would be delighted to see you on the day and please feel free to share the event with your contacts or on social media channels (I have attached a poster that can be shared). ... See MoreSee Less

Minister Bruton Announces Scheme for Community Led Climate Action

Applications open today for Community Environment Action Fund, hundreds of local projects to be supported

Climate and Biodiversity projects to be prioritized

Mr. Richard Bruton, T.D., Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment today (Wednesday, 21st August 2019), opened a scheme to support local environmental projects focusing on climate change and biodiversity.

Opening the Scheme, Minister Bruton said,

“Any school, community group or club who wants to take a step to tackle climate change or promote biodiversity should put forward ideas before 27th September.

“I have been hugely impressed by the determination among both young and old, that this time we shall take the climate challenge seriously. This is a great opportunity to demonstrate locally what can be done.

“Local, community led initiatives are crucial to delivering the ambition set out in the Climate Action Plan. These projects offer people a tangible, practical way to do their part to tackle the climate challenge and feel more connected to their local community as a result.

“It is by working together and supporting these grassroots initiatives that we can deliver the step change required. Last year over 850 projects were supported under this scheme, driving real change in local communities across the country.”

The Community Environment Action Fund, (previously known as the Local Agenda 21 Environmental Partnership Fund or LA21), funds small scale, non-profit environmental projects at local level, that make a significant difference in local communities. Minister Bruton has chosen climate and biodiversity as the priorities for this year’s Fund.

Applications are open today and nearly €1million (€460,000 from the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment matched by funding from local authorities) is available to support hundreds of projects in local communities all across Ireland.

Minister Bruton said,

“We have a short window of opportunity. We must act now and get behind the transition to a more sustainable path for future generations.”

A wide variety of projects and schemes have been supported under the Fund in previous years including, community gardens, allotments and compost schemes, rainwater harvesting schemes, educational initiatives and environmental exhibitions. This year’s priority is for projects in the area of Climate and Biodiversity.

Groups seeking funding for eligible projects are invited to make an application to their local authority (application forms are available from the local authorities). Completed application forms should be returned to the relevant local authority at the latest by 5pm, 27 September 2019. Local authority contacts and further information on the Fund can be obtained from the Department’s website: www.dccae.gov.ie ... See MoreSee Less
