 Ceiliúradh is open to anyone interested in exploring the challenge faced
by communities in the current economic environment and identifying
solutions that will work.


·         How can our communities plan for the future?

·         How can we benefit from local food?

·         What about building local economies?



These are just some of the topics that will be discussed over this two day
annual event.


This year's Ceiliúradh is a time when thinkers, doers and communities will
gather together to explore new ideas about how we want to live and if we
want to move towards a healthy and positive future.  Tipperary Institute
is delighted to welcome a diverse range of national and international
guests such as Marian Harkin MEP, Rob Hopkins (Transition Town Movement),
Chris Piennar from New Economics Foundation and many others.

The Ceiliúradh programme and booking form is attached along with the

featuring food from local producers on Wednesday 28th. Concessions are
also available and an accommodation list is attached.
