Public Participation –
Let’s Get Going
In the last couple of issues the Reps have been named and the Calendar of Events was shared.
Now we need to actually use the voice we’ve been given and the first step in this is getting to one of the general meetings of Leitrim PPN Members. This meeting of all groups is known as The PLENARY of Leitrim PPN. There are usually 2 per year and the first of these will be held in the Mayflower in Drumshanbo on March 21st, at 8:00 pm. It is likely that elections will be held but we’ll also have speakers of interest and be asking for your input on work to be done over the course of 2018.
Nominations are sought for the 7 following vacancies on Public Participation Network Panels:
- Secretariat – Environmental Representative;
- Leitrim Development Company Board of Management – Carrick on Shannon Municipal District, 1 man and 1 woman;
- Leitrim Development Company Board of Management – Ballinamore Municipal District, 1 man;
- Joint Policing Committee – Social Inclusion
- North West Regional Drug & Alcohol Task Force – Community & Voluntary Representatives, 1 man, 1 woman.
In the case of more than one eligible nominee being put forward for any of the five vacancies Elections will be held at the forthcoming County Plenary at the Mayflower Centre, Drumshanbo, 8:00 pm on Wednesday 21st March 2018
