Feedback from previous attendees
"We had the opportunity to participate in the Green Transition Programme for the past 18 months. It was a fantastic opportunity to assess where we were in terms of our Sustainability and Environmental position throughout the centre. Through the programme we best learned how to move this forward and encouraged us as a team to highlight and improve on areas within the building that can/could make a difference. It was also fabulous to get to meet, work and share ideas with the other Community & Voluntary Organisations involved with the programme and to meet up a few times over the duration (we had a few laughs along the way !! ) Thank You to Paul & Mary for all your support throughout and for guiding us through. We would highly recommend getting involved with the Green Transition Programme." Yvonne Dillon & Sylvia Hughes - Listowel Family Resource Centre
"Paul and his team worked with us and 3 local community organisations to undertake an extensive community consultation process. Paul was a pleasure to work with. He was very professional and methodical as he brought his significant experience and insight to the process. Covid restrictions impacted the initial consultation plans, but Paul showed great adaptability to ensure the process continued in a timely fashion, resulting in a very comprehensive planning report for the local organisations. We would be very happy to work with Paul and his team again." Helen Fitzgerald - Assistant Director, REPPP, School of Law, University of Limerick
"Paul developed a four-week consultative process in Knocknagoshel to support the community to discuss key development objectives across the parish. Each meeting built on the next and they allowed an opportunity for many voices to be heard. The meetings were excellently run, kept to a strict time-schedule, were orderly and gave opportunities for everyone to contribute. After each meeting, Paul supported our steering committee to ensure that we were getting the most out of the process, he listened to our concerns but also brought his wealth or experience to the table. The Tidy Towns group would recommend him and his work." Brian Harding - Knocknagoshel Community Centre
