Happy Retirement.
Ms. Marguerite Walsh retired from teaching last week. A well respected and much admired teacher in Rathcabbin N.S., Marguerite is also well known for her involvement down through the years with Rathcabbin Players both on stage and helping out behind the scenes. As a teacher in the school, she played a major part in coaching many fine young actors and actresses in the class room which stood them well later in life as she helped them to grace the stage as adults, some developing a great love of acting and singing. We all hope that Marguerite enjoys her retirement for many long years to come and now that she will have more time on her hands, we hope to see her back treading the boards in Rathcabbin Hall in the not too distant future. Well done Marguerite, you have certainly earned a well deserved rest.

Have Your Say – Local Economic Community Plan.
Tipperary County Council is preparing a new Local Economic & Community Plan (LECP) for the period 2023-2028 and they invite you to have your say on the future sustainable economic and community development of the county over the next five years.
Tipperary LECP?
Tipperary Local Community Development Committee has started a process to prepare a Local Economic and Community Plan (LECP) for the period 2023-2028. This plan will build on the learnings and achievements of the previous LECP, and it will seek to provide a strategic vision and framework for integrated and sustainable economic and community development across the county over the next five years. The plan will be evidence based and informed by extensive research and stakeholder consultation that is taking place over the period from April 2023 to September 2023.
Consultation: As part of the first step to inform our new plan, Tipperary County Council have prepared a draft Socio-Economic Statement. This document sets out the purpose of the LECP, the policy context that it is framed within, and provides key highlights on the socio-economic profile of Tipperary.
Importantly, the Socio-Economic Statement provides a draft vision statement for the new LECP.To successfully attain this vision over the coming years, we have set ourselves a draft series of environmentally sustainable and progressive socio-economic high-level goals.
To inform the next LECP for the county, we want you to share with us your vision for Tipperary and provide feedback on our proposed goals to help us establish the key outcomes we will deliver across the key themes of climate action, community and local development, economic development, and health and wellbeing.
Your views will help to shape the direction the next Local Economic & Community Plan will take. Your submissions will be reviewed and summarised, and recommendations will be made in response to them. Your views will be published here on our portal. A hard copy is also available on request from the Community Department. Please email lcdc@tipperarycoco.ie.
How to have your say
You can complete a citizen survey on line which will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete and will closed by July 14th 2023
Alternatively, written submissions may be posted to the following address: LECP Consultation, Community Section, Ballingarrane Tipperary County Council, Tipperary. If you have any queries about this survey, please contact a member of the team at lcdc@tipperarycoco.ie
