“We’re  hosting our second bootcamp, this time in Dublin! Team Ireland skaters and coaches will be on hand to teach you all the mad skills. Following this, we’ll be taking on Team Wales and Team West Indies in a double header! This is the team’s first games together and should be exciting match ups!”

Fight!

Love Irish animals??

My First Book of Irish Animals’ is a picture-book for young children to introduce them to the wonderful wild animals we have in this country. The book is illustrated by the hugely talented Aoife Quinn, from County Wicklow.

The motivation for this book came from reading to my own young children. I would have loved to have been able to show them a book like this with big drawings and information about our Irish wildlife but unfortunately could fine one. In book shops today, there are lots of picture books available about sharks and bears, big cats and spiders from all over the world, but there are none that focus specifically on the Irish fauna.

Supporters who back this journey will in effect be pre-ordering a copy or copies of the book which can be posted to them or to friends or family as gifts.

“The Down Syndrome Centre are looking for people to take part in this year’s Dublin Marathon on October, 27th. Last year’s winner, Seán Hehir has joined the team and will be hosting training sessions in the run up (excuse the pun!) to the event.
If you’re taking part in this year’s marathon why not raise some funds for this fantastic cause at the same time – it’ll definitely help you to get over the finish line. The Down Syndrome Centre will be opening its doors in September and will be offering a variety of hugely important services such as speech and language therapy, SKIP programmes, occupational therapy and several social groups and events. Contact me on (01) 661 8000 or email aileen@downsyndromecentre.ie for more information.”
