CDN Moyross on Live 95 re cuts and protest.

Live 95 fm interviewed Juan Carlos Azzopardi of CDN Moyross, and Kay Flanagan of St. Munchin's CDP.
The pair told the listeners what CDP's do and what the cuts could mean, and why there was a protest on Nov 5th. 
Listen here for a clip of the news report on the march. 

Nationwide features Moyross Community workers.

RTE's Nationwide show featured three community workers, Juan Carlos Azzopardi of Moyross Community Development Network, Patricia O'Dea of Northside We're OK, and Jude Meaney of Moyross Development Company

The three were part of a media course for Limerick-based community workers, and each was given training in researching and writing a news story. Some were later asked to produce a story for the Limerick Leader, and Nationwide followed them to see how they got on.

The show is online for the next couple of weeks if you want to check it out.

Cuts protest on NOV 5TH - Lay Off Moyross!

Here's the flyer/poster that's doing the rounds in Moyross this week. Why promise to fix things while taking away what we have? Let's the streets before the Government hit us with atrocious and very unfair cuts. People from communities throughout the Mid-West are joining the march.
In Moyross, the march protest is being led by Community Development activists and volunteers.

Good luck to Trish O'Dea!

Good luck to Trish O'Dea who has started a new job in the Mid-West Regional Hospital. Trish worked for one year with the Northside We're Ok Youth Initiative.
