Ireland has seen a big increase in sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in recent years. The trend is related in part to the economic boom, but also the fact that we have a young, very active peopl.

The Department of Health launched a national awareness campaign, 'Think Twice Every Time'. Its aims? To educate and inform 18-35 year-olds about their relationships and their sexuality. One of the reasons for the campaign was the rise in the incidence of STIs.

THE LIFE OF TURLOUGH O' CAROLAN - IRISH HARPISTS AND COMPOSER

2008-11-04T11:12:00.000-08:00

Turlough O'Carolan was born in County Meath in 1670. He is regarded as one of the finest composers and harpists that Ireland has ever produced.

Carolan The Celebrated Irish Bard
A sample of his music is available here and other tunes can be heard throughout this site which looks at the life and legacy of O'Carolan.

Firstly, the Ireland of O'Carolan's time is examined. The families of old Gaelic Ireland were disappearing and the Battle of the Boyne, when O'Carolan was twenty years old, changed Ireland forever.

Secondly, the O'Carolan biography is explored. Little detail of his life is truly known but some evidence is available to shed light on his life and circumstances. A short illustrated biography of O'Carolan is given in Irish.

Thirdly, O'Carolan's continuing ability to inspire others is looked at. Thomas Moore wrote many songs based on the harp as a symbol of Ireland during the nineteenth century. Derek Bell of The Chieftains is credited with reviving interest in O'Carolan and in harp music. Brian Keenan's first work of fiction is based on O'Carolan's life.

Fourthly, the power of the harp as a cultural symbol and icon of Ireland is traced from historical times to the present day.

In the fifth segment the flourishing harp, cultural and heritage festival at Nobber is detailed from its inception in 1988 to 2005.

Finally, O'Carolan's legacy in the flowering of poetry, song and Irish culture in North Meath is examined.

IRISH JOKE COLLECTION - IT WILL HAVE YOU IN TEARS

2008-10-26T18:08:00.000-07:00

Reilly went to trial for armed robbery. The jury foreman came out and announced, "Not guilty." "That's grand!" shouted Reilly. "Does that mean I can keep the money?"

Finnegan: My wife has a terrible habit of staying up 'til two o'clock in the morning. I can't break her of it. Keenan: What on earth is she doin' at that time? Finnegan: Waitin' for me to come home.

Slaney phoned the maternity ward at the hospital. "Quick!" He said. "Send an ambulance, my wife is goin' to have a baby!" "Tell me, is this her first baby?" the intern asked. "No, this is her husband, Kevin, speakin'."

How do you save a Limerickman from drowning?
You don't know? Good.

A Texan walks into a pub in Ireland and clears his voice to the crowd of drinkers. He says, "I hear you Irish are a bunch of hard drinkers. I'll give $500 American dollars to anybody in here who can drink 10 pints of Guinness back-to-back."

The room is quiet, and no one takes up the Texan's offer. One man even leaves.

Thirty minutes later the same gentleman who left shows back up and taps the Texan on the shoulder. "Is your bet still good?" asks the Irishman.

The Texan says yes and asks the bartender to line up 10 pints of Guinness. Immediately the Irishman tears into all 10 of the pint glasses, drinking them all back-to-back.

The other pub patrons cheer as the Texan sits in amazement. The Texan gives the Irishman the $500 and says, "If ya don't mind me askin', where did you go for that 30 minutes you were gone?"

The Irishman replies, "Oh... I had to go to the pub down the street to see if I could do it first."

"Tell me, Patrick, how did you manage to get so very drunk last night?" asked the parish priest.

"Well you see, Father, it was like this. I got into very bad company after winning a bottle of whiskey at a raffle."

"But you were with Mick Mulligan, Sean O'Toole, and Peter Ryan and they don't drink."

"Dat's what I mean, Father..."

The Dublin Rape Crisis Centre operates a 24 Hour Telephone Helpline, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

We will reply to your email within 24 Hours during the business week. Please direct all counselling-related queries to our freephone line.

About the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre
The Dublin Rape Crisis Centre was established in 1979 to provide support to women and men who have experienced rape, sexual assault, sexual harassment and/or childhood sexual abuse.

Over the past 25 years we have developed and expanded our services to include a 24-hour telephone helpline staffed by trained counsellors which operates 365 days of the year. Although the Centre is based in Dublin, our counsellors take calls from all over the country.

The Centre takes calls from women and men of all ages who have experienced or want to talk about the effects of any kind of sexual violence.

In the last 25 years the number of people contacting the crisis line for help has increased from 76 in 1979 to 14,412 in 2004. In the year 2004, of those seeking help 88% were female and 12% were male. The total umber of calls to the Centre in 2004 was 37,049.

To mark its 25th Anniversary, a book outlining the history of the Centre was published and launched at the Centre's 25th Anniversary Conference. "Without Fear: 25 Years of the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre" was written by award winning journalist Susan McKay. “Without Fear” is the first full account of Dublin's Rape Crisis Centre. At times horrific, it details the shameful scandals of key high-profile rape cases in the seventies, eighties and nineties, offering definitive insights on the battle for better services, longer sentences and legal amendments. "Without Fear" is available from all leading Irish bookshops.

Currently the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre employs a staff of 30 in its various Departments. These include Reception, Administration, Accounts, Fundraising, Education, Counselling and Volunteer Services.

A staff of 11 fully qualified counsellors provide a one-to-one counselling and therapy service Monday to Friday from 8am until 7pm and on Saturdays from 9am until 4pm. Our counsellors mainly see clients in our Centre in Leeson Street but we also offer an outreach service in Coolock on Thursdays and Fridays. The aim of the Centre is to continue to expand our outreach service so that counselling and therapy is accessible to as many people as possible. Our counsellors also offer a variety of groups to clients of the Centre.

The Dublin Rape Crisis Centre employs five staff telephone counsellors who offer support, information and hope to the hundreds of women and men who contact us monthly. Our telephone counsellors are aware that they are often the first point of contact with our service and their aim is to deal with all calls in confidence and as sensitively a s possible. All appointments are made through the telephone counselling department.

In addition, the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre has a team of more than 70 trained volunteers who provide telephone counselling outside of office hours. Our volunteers will also accompany and offer support to women and men who attend the Sexual Assault Treatment Unit in the Rotunda hospital.

We also offer an outreach programme where specially trained volunteers will visit schools, community centres, etc. to provide information and also to promote awareness of all aspects of sexual violence.

Here in the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre we are committed to healing the hurt of rape and sexual abuse. Our aim is to offer a safe and confidential space where women and men of all ages can be listened to and supported without shame or self-blame.

If you are reading this web page and are affected by any of the issues, we encourage you to take the next step and call us in confidence.

We are here to help you heal from the hurt of rape and sexual abuse.

We are negotiating on an ongoing basis with the Construction Industry Federation on wages and conditions and have achieved retirement at 60 yrs for workers who are members of the Construction Industry Pension Scheme.

Reasons to Join
While the Labour Court machinery is open to all workers to utilise it can be intimidating for some workers to use their services. Being a member of OPATSI ensures first class professional representation in the Court.

As a member of OPATSI we will contact you on a 3 month basis keeping you updated with any changes which may occur in the sector you are employed in.
We feel it is vitally important to keep in contact with our members on an ongoing basis.

UFO SOCIETY OF IRELAND – EXRA-TERRESTRIALS – ALIENS

MORE INFO(FROM SITE)
"Freeze frame" picture of UFO taken from video of UFO
seen on 14th December, 1997 at 6:00pm. over Lough Key in
Lough Key Forest Park, Boyle, County Roscommon, Ireland.

The UFO SOCIETY OF IRELAND was formed for the purpose of bringing together like-minded people with an interest in the subject of UFOs, whether it be sightings, encounters, or just merely curiosity. Many people now think .. "How can we be the only intelligent life form in the whole Universe?" We know that ..THEY ARE OUT THERE! and WE ARE NOT ALONE!

We now have members throughout Ireland as well as in Spain, Netherlands, Costa Rica and the United States of America. We are kept together by means of a monthly Newsletter.

Why Join the Society?
All members receive a monthly Newsletter, which publishes unusual articles of UFO interest that you won’t find anywhere else!! Such as ….Newsletter No. 69 (December 2004) which gave instructions on how to contact Star Ship Capricorn by means of the internet [here]… or…Newsletter No. 79 (December 2005) which printed a previously unpublished report by Admiral Byrd, of the bizarre encounter he had with the Intergalactic Forces whilst flying over the North Pole on 19th February 1947 [here]… or… Newsletter No.85 (July 2006) which reproduced pictures of craft depicted on the walls of a 3,000 year-old temple in Egypt which show an uncanny resemblance to modern-day aircraft [here]….or.. Newsletter No.100!!! (November 2007) which reproduced pictures of gold trinkets found in an area covering Central America and the coastal area of South America – they are over 1,000 years old and look like replicas of modern day aircraft – do they represent flying objects seen in the skies long ago?? [here] All very interesting stuff!!
The Newsletter also publishes details of predictions as to when and where UFOs are most likely to be seen.
We also publish reports of sightings, mainly in Ireland, of which there are very many, and also some of the more interesting ones from other countries.

BUNCLODY GAA – WEXFORD – INFORMATION AND FIXTURES

2008-10-25T05:40:00.002-07:00

H.W.H. Bunclody GAA Club
Church rd Bunclody Co. Wexford
(053)9376099

Bunclody is a picturesque town in the Southeast of Ireland with accommodation, businesses and services to suit most needs. It is in North County Wexford on the Co. Carlow border. It nestles in the shelter of Mount Leinster and on the banks of the meandering River Slaney.

The town has a growing population of about 2,300 and is well serviced by a hotel, b&b's, a golf course, shops, mini-markets, newsagents, public houses (Bars), fine restaurants, pub food, a laundry, a launderette, hardware stores, service stations, mechanics and any other services you would expect in a small town.

It has two churches, one Roman Catholic and the other Church of Ireland. There is also a little Jewish chapel at Rainsford Lodge. The town has primary and second level schools. There are numerous sporting organisations and societies.

There are some lovely scenic drives along the Slaney valley and to popular viewpoints on Mount Leinster. The town also has a heated swimming pool which opens during the school summer holidays. The Millrace Hotel also has a swimming pool.

Another less vigorous activity practised by some of the locals at the weekends, is to purchase a newspaper and then retire to one of over a dozen Pubs to study form (horse racing). Then after a few pints of Guinness and a well marked newspaper, pop into the local bookies for a small bet. Then back to the pub to await the televised race.

Anyway if you do visit, you will always find something to do, whether it be vigorous hill walking or a leisurely river walk, or perhaps a tour of the pubs. Or even eat an ice-cream cone on one of the seats along the Mall (a stream that flows through the centre of main street). See map.

Bunclody also has an annual festival called the
Eileen Aroon festival, which creates great activity in the town, with pub quizzes and pub talent competitions, free music on the Square and lots of other activities and events to suit everybody. This festival is held about the second week in July and more information will be posted on this site as we get nearer the event.

ABOUT IRISH TRAVELLERS
Travellers are an indigenous minority who, historical sources confirm, have been part of Irish society for centuries. Travellers long shared history, cultural values, language, customs and traditions make them a self-defined group, and one which is recognisable and distinct. Their culture and way of life, of which nomadism is an important factor, distinguishes them from the sedentary (settled) population.

There are an estimated 25,000 Travellers in Ireland, making up more than 4,485 Traveller families. This constitutes approximately 0.5% of the total national population. It is estimated that an additional 15,000 Irish Travellers live in Britain, with a further 10,000 Travellers of Irish descent living in the United States of America.

Travellers, as individuals and as a group, experience a high level of prejudice and exclusion in Irish society. Many have to endure living in intolerable conditions, with approximately one third having to live without access to the basic facilities of sanitation, water and electricity. This leads to ongoing health problems among the Traveller community. A report of the Health Research Board (1987) revealed that Traveller men live, on average, 10 years less than settled men, while Traveller women live on average 12 years less than their settled peers. Discrimination and its effects are a daily feature of Travellers lives.

In 1995, the Government published the Report of the Task Force on the Travelling Community. This report presents a comprehensive examination of the situation of the Traveller community and contains significant and convincing proposals for necessary change. To date, some of the recommendations of this important report have been implemented, but much remains to be done. It is vital that, in the coming years, the various Government agencies responsible, together with the community as a whole, work to ensure the full implementation of all the Task Force Reports recommendations Travellers might then have the experience of being treated and regarded as full, equal citizens of Ireland.

IRISH TRAVELLER MOVEMENT
The Irish Traveller Movement (ITM) is a national network of organisations and individuals working within the Traveller community.

ITM was established in 1990 and now has over seventyTraveller organisations from all parts of Ireland in its membership. The Irish Traveller Movement consists of a partnership between Travellers and settled people committed to seeking full equality for Travellers in Irish society. This partnership is reflected in all of the structures of ITM.

The Irish Traveller Movement was formed to be a national platform, through which Travellers and their organisations are enabled to:

Highlight the issues faced by Travellers and to press for real solutions.
Debate ideas and formulate and promote culturally appropriate initiatives.
Provide those active at a local level with support and solidarity.
Develop alliances at national level.
Challenge the many forms of individual, structural and institutional racism with which Travellers have to deal.
The Irish Traveller Movement has in its membership over 70 Traveller organisations from all parts of the island of Ireland, and has established contact with Irish Traveller groups in Britain.

Membership is open to all those who support the aims and objectives of the movement.

Traveller Organisations
The Report of the Task Force on the Traveller Community observed these features of Traveller organisations:

They are non-governmental and independent of the statutory sector, although many of their activities are funded by the State.
They are organised with a membership of Travellers and settled people seeking to work together as equal partners, but can also be organised with membership made up solely of Travellers. The effective participation of Travellers is the key feature of these organisations.
They have taken an unambiguous supportive position in relation to Traveller issues and to the improvement of the living circumstances and general welfare of Travellers.

Project Aim Objectives
Using a partnership model to develop innovative approaches amongst the relevant disability agencies and stakeholders, the project aims to improve co-ordination of existing services, inform public opinion and influence policy-making throughout the County, in order to empower the disabled community to gain access to appropriate work opportunities.

Project Objectives:

1. To establish a committed partnership of agencies that will formulate and implement a cross-agency client-centred approach to the progression of the disabled into employment;
2. To develop a specification and application of a vocational profiling and guidance service that will compliment existing activities;
3. To establish an employment marketing service to address the requirements of both employers and clients;
4. To establish a community radio station that will provide a bridge into commercial employment for the target group, empower its staff and listeners, and project a positive impression of professionalism and ability within the disabled community, whilst providing valuable services to the general community;
5. To inform mainstream policy regarding disability, by applying models jointly developed on the initiative to their own organizational policies and procedures;
6. To exploit all employment opportunities e.g. employment by consortium members, subcontracting business from employers, placement within the social economy programme, promotion of existing public sector opportunities (3% national policy target), and upcoming decentralization opportunities.

Project Actions:

* Establish a state of the art studio and website design facility to service the needs of both the disabled community and the broader community of Roscommon, displaying it as a model of best practice;
* Conduct a series of job analyses on the entire radio station operations. Use this model for demonstration to other organizations of the practical application of job analysis, vocational profiling, and job matching;
* Providing full-time employment and work placements to people with disabilities in the range of skill areas (reception, administration, sales, maintenance, web design, broadcasting, reporting etc);
* Developing a local employment resource pack in the process;
* Employment Marketing - this action aims to put employers centre stage in the employment process, assisted on the supply side by agencies customizing training in response to their needs, and encouraged on the demand side by the community, who appreciate the adoption of Equality principles;
* Vocational Career Guidance Service – to guide disabled clients who wish to gain access to employment and are willing to undertake the vocational guidance process and suggested interventions to the stage of being job-ready and then provide pre and post employment support.

Rockingham Fire
Fifty years ago, in the autumn of 1957, Rockingham House, in Lough Key Forest Park, was gutted by fire. The ruins stood until 1971 and were subsequently replaced with the Moylurg Tower. The fire started in the early evening of the 10th September and raged on through the night with the last flames dying out some 24 hours later.
A wonderful book called 'Rockingham' can be purchased in the Una Bhan Craft shop, grounds of King House, Boyle for €8. This book has wonderful images of Rockingham House from the Fr.Browne collection.

Handy Book to Have
An updated version of the handy Boyle Residential and Business Phone Directory, is available from Úna Bhán Tourism in the grounds of King House, Boyle. This is an extremely handy A5 size booklet with useful listings of names and numbers of every home and business in Boyle and the surrounding area. At just €5 a copy, it is essential reading if you want to know who's who and where in the town. Call into Úna Bhán Tourism in the grounds of King House for a copy, or to amend your published details for future updates.

Walking in the area
The range of walks that are available for all levels of walkers in the Boyle area are so diverse it will be hard to choose which one to do first.
Lough Key Forest Park set in 500 hectacres of parkland has something to suit all. The Bricklieve mountains and Carrowkeel with its Megalithic tombs have rough terrain and breathtaking scenery. Cavetown lake just off the Roscommon road is a peaceful tranquil walk. The 'Miners Way' and 'Historical Trail' are a network of paths which wind their way through adjoining parts of County Leitirm, Roscommon and Sligo. The Miners way follows the path used by the miners going to work in the Arigna mines.

BALLYHEANE?
Ballyheane/Errew (Beal Atha hEin / Oireamh) in Mayo in the West of Ireland
Located in the midst of a drumlin belt, this area presents a fascinating landscape of hills and hollows, testament to an ice age long past and remains enviably unspoiled by modern intrusion. It has become a haven for walking enthusiasts 'Ballyheane' (Ballyhean) translates intriguingly as 'the Mouth of the Ford of the Bird', perhaps referring to the shape of the river itself. The old graveyard in the centre of the village features an interesting old ruin called 'Teampall na gCailleachadh Dubha', 'The Temple or Church of the Nuns' and also the ruins of an eleventh century church. The Peyton vault commemorates the local landlord family. Nearby Kinturk Castle dates from the 13th century and has close links with the local Norman families, the Stauntons, McEvillys and De Burgos. Errew meaning 'Arable Land' is noted for archaeological features such as forts and souterraines and a Franciscan monastery. The memory of the 1798 Rebellion is poignantly kept alive at the French Hill Monument.

A product or service is delivered to the ultimate customer through a complex interaction of several companies on the way, i.e. through a supply chain. The manufacturer's ability to give customers what they want, when they want it, at the price and quality that they want, is not just determined by the manufacturer's skill or expertise in running his/her own operation. No degree of improvement in the company itself can make up for suppliers not delivering, delivering wrongly or late. High inventory levels are often the result of an effort to buffer against such uncertainties. Inefficient production methods add additional uncertainties and unnecessary costs. The distribution of goods into foreign markets adds significantly to the cost of most consumer goods or components. Inefficiencies anywhere in the chain will reduce the chances of the manufacturer successfully competing against other suppliers. It is now recognised, therefore, that supply chains compete
with other supply chains.

Supply chain management is concerned with the total management of the supply chain. As such, it is an essential activity in any company's everyday life. Very often the company is let down not by their own actions, but by the actions of other parties involved. Many companies do not even realise the importance of supply chain management to their future survival. It applies to small or large companies, whether they are in manufacturing, process or service industries. Improving ones own business is no guarantee of success in today's competitive markets. The individual success of a company depends not alone on their in-house skills and expertise. Without the right companies up and down the supply chain to work with a company will never achieve true competitive advantage.

At the end of the day supply chain management is the management of all the activities in any of the companies involved in a supply chain to achieve two things: to provide the highest possible level of customer service at minimum cost.

COUNTY MONAGHAN JOBS AND COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP - CASTLEBLAYNEY

2008-09-18T03:18:00.000-07:00

Co. Monaghan Partnership
Monaghan rd Castleblayney Co. Monaghan
(042)9749500

WHAT IS A PARTNERSHIP COMPANY ?

Monaghan Partnership is one of 38 Partnership Companies established in areas of high socio-economic disadvantage within the Republic of Ireland. They are supported under the National Development Plan 2001-2006, but also have the capacity to access funds from other sources.

WHAT ARE THEY ESTABLISHED TO DO ?

Monaghan Partnership will seek to create a Partnership incorporating the Community, Voluntary, Statutory and Social Partner Sectors. The Board of which will devise and implement a dynamic local development strategy for Monaghan. This strategy will target the needs of the most marginalised. It will seek to co-ordinate and enhance the provision of state services to the area. The principal objective is:
"To counter disadvantage through support for communities which make a collective effort to maximise the development potential of their areas, which are capable of a sustained effort to implement a plan and which have committed an appropriate level of resources to that process".

It is anticipated that the Partnership:

"Will impact positively on the special needs of the socially excluded, the long-term unemployed and those at risk of becoming long-term unemployed."
Partnership Companies around the country are the primary mechanisms through which these objectives will be achieved.

WHAT IS THE FUNCTION OF THE PARTNERSHIP ?

The functions of the Partnership Companies are to bring together the community, statutory and social partner sectors; to draw up a local development plan aimed at countering disadvantage; and to support and monitor the implementation of the agreed plan.

WHEN WAS IT FORMED ?

County Monaghan Partnership was formed in April 1996 to tackle social exclusion and deprivation in Monaghan.

WHAT WORK DOES THE PARTNERSHIP FOCUS ON ?

The Board of the Partnership identified three main focuses for its local development strategy: Services to the Unemployed, Community Development and Community Based Youth Initiatives. The local development plan of the Partnership details a range of strategies within each of these action areas. The Partnership is also involved with four Committees/working groups: Agriculture, Education Forum, Services to the Unemployed and Community Development.
The Partnership also proactively works with the four issued based networks in the county: Youth Network, Disability Network, Equality Promotion Network and Women's Network. A network is a structure that brings together a number of different groups working in a similar area. These networks provide a forum for the exchange of information, ideas and experiences. Networks can identify and develop models of good and best practice. This can particularly assist the development of new and weaker member groups who can benefit from other st ronger member groups in the network.

WHO IS THE PARTNERSHIP WORKING TO SUPPORT ?

In relation to target groups, the plan specifically mentions a number of groups who are experiencing particularly high levels of marginalisation and/or inequality: Unemployed, Travellers, women, people with disabilities, lone parents, Smallholders, Older people, Young people and Asylum seekers. The plan recognises the need to provide people from these groups, and their representative organisations, with relatively high levels of support and assistance.

Wednesday, September 3, 2008
Find out how to get to this place, its easy, just search GOOGLE. I have listed 3 places that I find interesting. Keep well away from places that charge entry fee(although the Media Centre might be worth a gawk). There is alot to do on Achill, it might even be worth staying here for the weekend. Various Bed and Breakfasts or The Railway Hostel are the best alternatives.

IRELAND - LEAST EXPENSIVE CITES - PLACES TO LIVE

2008-09-12T07:41:00.000-07:00

I will make this short and sweet. Keep away from Dublin and Galway if at all possible - Cork, especially on the suburbs is a good option. Kilkenny is cheaper but not much happening(which is maybe what you want). Of course, there in lies the big catch 22 - Dublin, Cork and Belfast hold about 80% of the jobs. If its making money your after, then Cork might be best. It is also 10 minutes from various places of beauty and West Cork/ Kerry is hard to beat for activities and scenery. Whichever place you choose, remember it is always better to live in the city center or close to it. Petrol will eat away at any money you save living from the city.

If you have to go to Dublin, I would suggest GOING INTO DUBLIN. People think they are saving money by living in Dundalk or some other town 1 hour from Dublin. I have not found that to be the case. Rush hour traffic in Dublin IS INSANE. Dundrum, Rathfarnham and Ranelagh are good places to live, and are served by Public Transport. Rental accommodation is actually going down in the cities, which hasn't happened for years.
