The Voice of Women: 100 Years of Achievement

April 11, 2018/in News /by Sinead

“It takes a truly exceptional personality to look at something like the systematic exclusion of women from social, economic and political rights and to decide to fight for the principle of equality” Micheal Martin, TD
speaking at the opening of the exhibition; “The Voice of Women: 100 Years of Achievement”, in  Lissadell House, this afternoon.

“If you look back at the writing of most history – and not just Irish history – there is a tendency to present strong women as somehow eccentric and out of place.  This confuses the exceptional for the eccentric”.-MM

Constance Cassidy, S.C & her four daughters have created this new exhibition, to mark the 100th anniversary of the right of women to vote. “The Voice of Women” Exhibition celebrates 100 years of women’s suffrage and also includes a selection of inspirational Irish women who have shaped Ireland, past and present.

Always, a particular pleasure to meet up with my female colleagues, an exceptional group in their own right.

Fascinating material on display in the exhibition and worth a visit. For further info check out the Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/lissadellhouse/

Meeting with members of Youth Work Ireland

March 26, 2018/in News /by Sinead

As Chairperson of Leitrim Joint Policing Committee, I met with members of Youth Work Ireland North Connaught and members of An Garda Síochána today, for the launch of the (Youth Action Project) YAPS Garda Diversion Project “Get the facts about Knives! – Fact or Fiction” leaflet.

Launching the project, Chief Supt. Glackin, said the leaflet will inform, dispel the myths and present the facts, It’s an offence to carry a knife in a public place and young people need to be aware of the facts. We should also ask our youth to be aware of their own safety when out, encourage respect and remind them that all crime or intimidation should be reported.
