Limerick City Comhairle na n-Og - Date Change - Wednesday 2nd December

Due a double booking by Thomond Park Confrence centre Limerick City Comhairle na nÓg's date has been changed to Wednesday 2nd December.

City Comhairle Na Og

Limerick Youth Service and Limerick City Development Board are once again organising the annual Youth led event – Comháirle na nÓg

Comhairle na n-Og provides an opportunity for young people to discuss topics and directly affect young people. All suggestions and viewpoints on these

topics will be documented and presented by Comhairle members to various decision making bodies over the coming months.

This year the Comháirle na nÓg will be held on Wednesday, 2nd December 2009 at the Thomond Park Conference Centre.


This event is for young people aged twelve to eighteen years of age from Limerick City and will serve to:
• Promote discussion and debate on issues chosen by young people
• Select Representatives for the Dáil na nÓg, to be held in Croke Park on 5th March 2010.
• Recruit Representatives to Limerick City Youth Forum – a Forum for young people to meet, discuss issues of relevance to them and influence local

decision-makers, facilitated by Limerick Youth Service.


Themes for Comhairle na n-Og 2009

This year we have identified two issues we wish to discuss at Comhairle na n-Og. We will do our best to ensure young peoples voices are heard and that our

Comhairle will help to inform any decisions made that effect young people.


Topic 1 - Sexual Health Education

Young people involved in Comhairle na n-Og come from various schools and youth groups. And guess what, we’ve all experience different approaches to sexual

health education. We have recently conducted a survey on young people’s views on sexual health education and want to build upon this at our Comhairle AGM.
So what do you think?
-Where should young people receive accurate information?
School / home / friends / youth cafes & youth groups ?
-Do young people need more than information but a space to discuss their concerns?
-What are the areas that sexual health education should cover?
T o research information log on spunout.ie


Topic 2 - Once upon a time in Limerick…

Ok so we started with Stereotyping and Young People as an idea for a topic. But we’ve decided to take a different angle on this. This topic will look at

positive images and stories of Limerick City. You will be asked to help develop a story of young person enjoying life in Limerick and all the City has to

offer. So have a think about the things you like about our City and also how these could be highlighted and shared with everyone.
Also…
We will also be facilitating a general workshop exploring young people’s values and what is important to young people today.
We will be organising interactive workshops, providing information on the danger s of binge drinking and alcohol abuse.
Finally to help highlight positive things about our city we hope to include a brief tour of the Thomond Park Stadium on the Day!

Look forward to seeing you there and hearing your Voice!

Limerick Band Storms Charts – Pesky Kids Featuring 'Animal Beats' Secures No. 13 in the Charts

Limerick band Animal Beats has secured No. 13 in the compilation album charts released today, “Pesky Kids” the compilation CD from the Irish Youth Music Awards has gone straight in to the top twenty on it’s first week of release. The Irish Youth Music Awards which are run by Youth Work Ireland and Garageland provide a space for hundreds of young bands from all around Ireland to rehearse, perform and record in their own community culminating in the annual awards ceremony which took pace this year in April at The Village in Dublin.

“This result shows the level of interest in this highly innovative youth project. All around Ireland now there is a space and a place for young people with a passion for music to come together and engage with each other with the prospect of taking part in a national awards process. The CD contains rock bands, rappers, solo artists and many more from all backgrounds and all walks of life. I think its an enormous achievement for a bunch of 12 to 18 year olds to have secured such a high chart placing, it’s a tribute to the quality of the acts and the hard work they put in” said Michael Mc Loughlin from Youth Work Ireland

“Anybody following the huge interest and take up of the Irish Youth Music Awards will not be surprised at this result. Local communities have responded with great enthusiasm to this project and have gotten behind their local acts. The young people involved have learnt a huge amount about music and the music industry but more importantly about teamwork and how they and their peers can make a difference. We are now starting in to the third year of the Irish Youth Music Awards with great confidence following this chart topping display” said Dermot Lambert, Director of The Irish Youth Music Awards

Statement on Ballyloughran Centre

Limerick Youth Service has carried a financial loss in operations in the Ballyloughran Centre over the past number of years and cannot afford to continue to do so in the present economic climate. The Ballyloughran Centre, part of Limerick Youth Service, examined a number of options in an attempt to secure its future. Regrettably, given the financial losses incurred on a sustained basis, it has been decided to close the Centre. The date of closure has yet to be finalised. In implementing this difficult decision, management, in discharging its statutory obligations, have contacted employee representatives with a view to entering into collective consultation over the coming weeks on how best to wind down operations. This decision was not taken lightly and Limerick Youth Service empathise with the collective disappointment of staff, users of the Ballyloughran facilities and the wider community. Unfortunately, due to the unprecedented financial pressures experienced in the recent past, the decision could not be averted and it is hoped that an orderly wind-down of operations can be achieved.

The Centre is not for sale and there are no agreements with any other party for its immediate use. Limerick Youth Service greatly appreciates the support and loyalty of the people of North Kerry over the years and assure you of our commitment to the future of Ballyloughran in a more favourable economic climate.

All the fun of Limerick’s Sporting and Celebrity Fashion show in support of Limerick Youth Service

All the fun of Limerick’s Sporting and Celebrity Fashion show in support of Limerick Youth Service

Some of Limerick’s most well-known folks about town and sporting personalities are all coming together to put on some rather spiffy glad rags from some of Limerick’s finest purveyors of fashion, raise funds for Limerick Youth Service AND have a bit of a laugh while they’re at it! One celeb, who shall remain nameless, has demonstrated his predilection for stripping down to his jocks and socks on his previous modelling jaunts!
All of the happy fundraisers are being put through their paces by one of Limerick’s most well-known model agents, Hilary Thompson. Hilary says that while there may be some diamonds in the rough among her group of talented modelling novices she is sure that her own models will be able to keep them all on the straight and narrow – and most importantly – on the runway!

Michelle McMahon of Spin South West, winner of the recent Limerick Youth Service fundraiser ‘Limerick Does Strictly Come Dancing’, is among the group along with Noel (Buddha) Healy of Munster and Shannon FRC, Labour TD Jan O’Sullivan and Brian Murray, Limerick Hurling. All are generously giving up their time to help support the work of Limerick Youth Service.
Well-known local actor and director - and now celeb model - Myles Breen recently visited Limerick Youth Service to see the work undertaken there for himself. ‘I’m so impressed,’ he says. ‘Like many, I know the Service from simply passing by from time to time but it’s only when you come through the doors that you really get a true impression of what the Service does. It’s a hive of activity between all the learners who are taking part in the various projects, the students in their classrooms and the youth workers flying around meeting young people from all the various youth clubs throughout the city and county. I am really glad to be helping support such a wonderful local resource for the young people of Limerick.’

The clothes for this fashion event of the season are being supplied by a range of shops from Limerick city and county – and from Charleville, Co Cork and include Isobels, Bella Sola, Imasa, Amee’s, Butterscotch, In Vogue, Sinead’s, Katey Jane’s, Gretta Gibbs, Sedudza, Pamela Scott’s, Helene Modes, Tony Connolly’s and Jack & Jones with shoes by Shoe Flair and hair by Niall Colgan Hairdressing.

Limerick Sporting and Celebrity Fashion Show will take place in The Sin Bin at Clohessy’s on Thursday October 8th 2009.

Catherine Kelly Director of Limerick Youth Service said, ‘I am so grateful to everyone who has given generously of their time to get this show on the road! At Limerick Youth Service, we work with over 3,000 young people through our education and vocational training programmes, community based youth projects, youth cafés and support of over 40 volunteer-led youth clubs throughout the city and county. In these straitened times we have had our funding dramatically reduced, and have a number of projects due to run out of funding altogether so we have to ask the generous people of Limerick to help us.’

Organiser Dave Dineen said, ‘As a proud Limerick man and with two young boys of my own I am determined that Limerick Youth Service will continue to be able to provide the vital services and programmes for the young people of Limerick. Not wishing to use a hackneyed phrase but nothing says it better than our young people are our future. If we don’t invest in them then what kind of a community will we have in years to come? It’s all about Limerick people supporting Limerick. Every penny will stay in Limerick and there’s every possibility we’ll have a lot of fun along the way!’

Tickets cost €20 and are available at Limerick Youth Service on Glentworth Street and at the Specsavers stores in Cruises Street and the Crescent Shopping Centre.

Youthfest 09 - 26th September; The Peoples Park - update

Limerick Youth Service is hosting Limerick’s first ever Youth Fest on Saturday 26th September in the People’s Park. A drug and alcohol-free event, it has been organised by many of the young people who attend Lava Java’s Youth Café at Limerick Youth Service, along with various other projects there. It is supported by AIB’s Better Ireland Programme and the Mid West Regional Drugs Taskforce. Other supporting partners include Limerick City Council which provided the venue and Limerick City Sports Partnership which is overseeing the sporting component of the day.

One of the organisers, Tanya O’Sullivan, youth worker with Limerick Youth Service says, ‘The Youth Fest came about because so many young people felt that there simply wasn’t an event that they could go to locally where they could get together and have some fun. Many are too young to go to the bigger festivals like the Electric Picnic and Oxegen so Limerick Youth Fest is aimed specifically at 13 to 19 year olds. It will provide all the fun of these big occasions but will be drug and alcohol-free.’

The event will run from 2.00pm to 6.00pm and will feature a number of local bands performing throughout the day. There will also be lots of workshops including drumming, Tai Chi, art and crafts and a good old fashioned sports day that will include favourites such as sack and three legged races.

It will be an event to remember as we celebrate with the theme “Youth through the Generations” with a number of tents that will display all kinds of memorabilia from the ‘70s through to the present day. Limerick’s Animal Welfare and Amnesty International will have a presence at Youth Fest. A bouncy castle and sumo suits will provide some opportunities for fun. There will alos be dance workshops, DJs showcasing their talents along with local radio broadcasts. The highlight of the event will be an attempt at breaking the Guinness World Record for the fastest egg and spoon race over 100 metres!

Admission to participation in the day’s activities is free and everyone between the ages of 13 and 19 is welcome! The aim of the organisers is to make this an annual event that will grow to takes its place in the calendar of festivals.

For more information please contact Tania O’Sullivan on 061 412 444.
