Comment

Look anywhere in Ballymun and you will see signs of economic and social regeneration. Signs that people's lifestyles are improving. Ballymun is a community on its way up.

It is an amazing story of urban renewal. But there is still so much more to achieve.

To maintain this extraordinary momentum for change we must work hard, be confident and stay focused on the main prize... a better future for the people of Ballymun, Whitehall & Ballygall. It's worth it.

The Partnership is an agent of positive social and economic change. Our job will only be completed when Ballymun, Whitehall & Ballygall become communities with a natural lifecycle, where people live, are educated productively, get a job and in turn create jobs for others.

Communities that can sustain themselves without further intervention.

Social Enterprise Task Force (SETF) Manifesto

In January 2010 the Economic Development Manager of the Partnership was one of a group of people invited by Dublin Employment Pact, Clann Credo and the Social Investment Fund to focus specifically on how to promote the concept and the common interests of the social enterprise sector.

The result was the Social Enterprise Task Force (SETF) which set itself the mission of developing a Manifesto that would identify the practical ways in which national and local policy could create a more supportive and receptive framework for social enterprise.

Social enterprise can play a very significant role in national recovery. This role has many aspects: economic, social and the generation of a can do community spirit that would help drive that recovery. The potential of the sector is simply staggering, and its consistent underestimation represents the neglect of a great opportunity.

Traveller Focus Week lunchtime performance
Mobile
Date: Wednesday 2nd December
Time: 1.00pm
Venue: Axis, Ballymun

Mobile is written and performed by Michael Collins, a member of the Irish Traveller community who has been an advocate of Traveller human rights for over 20 years. Michael would be most known for the role of Johnny Connors in RTEs Glenroe, which he starred in for over 10 years.

Mobile looks at the dilemma of a Traveller man who is matched off to fight another Traveller to settle a family dispute. The fellow who he is to fight is not only his cousin but they are also married to two sisters. The play explores the issue of internal fighting within the Traveller community through eyes of Peter one of the combatants who is faced with the dilemma: Will I or wont I fight?. This exciting play will challenge audience perceptions of the Traveller community while highlighting the role of the outside community in contributing to the issue.

Michael will also facilitate a Q&A session after this performance.

For further information about Traveller Focus Week contact Hazel Murphy (St. Margarets Travellers Community Assoc.) on 8622144 or Manus Bree (Ballymun Whitehall Area Partnership) on 8423612. To make a booking call Axis Box Office : Tel. 01-883 2100.

DCU Ryan Academy Calls for National Social Enterprise Strategy
(www.dcu.ie October 22nd, 2009)
