Community Outreach Digital Switchover Programme |
|
|
The Community Outreach Digital Switchover Programme aims to assist people who, because of their own particular circumstances, are least likely to make the switch from Analogue to Digital Television Service by October 2012.
The Programme will be implemented at a local level by the appointment of one local organisation per county/area to lead an outreach programme involving many organisations and events.
We invite community and voluntary organisations to apply for funding to engage a "Digital Outreach Champion".

Update On Rural Broadband Scheme |
|
|
Irish Rural Link welcomes the following notice which has appeared on the Department of communication’s website.While we will still articulate the concern about the level of overall efficiency of broadband available in rural areas, especially for existing businesses and those hoping to start up; we see this as a positive development.We also note the low number that has applied, which is disappointing and we believe does not come close to the real figure. We believe that another call will be necessary, but this time should be accompanied by a greater promotions effort.

Conference on Rural Isolation |
|
|
It’s an oft-quoted statistic that more people die by suicide each year in Ireland than in car crashes.And just as public awareness campaigns have helped to lower the annual level of road deaths, so are others trying to prevent such loss of life through suicide. To mark World Suicide Prevention Day, Lifeline Kilkenny is hosting a morning information and awareness seminar on September 9 from 9.30am to 1pm in Butler House, Kilkenny.
Under the theme of ‘Developing Community Resilience and Understanding’, the gathering will hear from speakers on topics such as mental health among ethnic minorities, managing one’s own mental health and dealing with bereavement.
