The Dublin Mayor Gerry Breen pictured with students from The Bosco youth centre in Drimnagh on Tuesday the 17th of August. This visit to The Bosco centre was part of the Lord Mayors wish to visit the ‘villages’of Dublin & talk with local business owners & community people. Also in the picture is Fine Gael CllrRuairi McGinley, and IT programme coordinator Ger Devereux.

The students discussed the unemployment situation & the challenges they face in getting full-time work. It will be interesting to see how the Lord Mayor plans to help tackle the issues these young adults raised, as he has only three priorities for his term of office & they are jobs, jobs, jobs. You can find out more about his plans by clicking onto his blog here.
The Lord Mayor is holding a workshop in the morning titled Your Village…Our City. Lord Mayor Breen will welcome DCC area leaders, business owners and guests to the workshop and will speak a bit about the purpose of the Your Village…Our City Workshop. Some of the guest presenters include Rhona Delaney about her work in building community spirit in Clontarf & John Phelan will give an introductory talk on his work on the OurShop local website.
I will be attending this workshop with some other local Drimnagh community workers & volunteers. I’m interested in finding out more details about this initative & how it can benefit Drimnagh.
What do you think? If you are a local business have you heard or been invited to this workshop? And lastly what kind of offers could Drimnagh businesses make to the community?
