A word from our Chairperson
Chairperson Introduction: Mary Mullen
As Chairperson of the board of Monaghan Integrated Development (MID, it gives me great pleasure to present the Annual Report 2024 which provides an overview of the work undertaken by the company during the year. In my capacity as Chairperson, I am honoured to be part of our voluntary board of individuals who continue to be committed to working in partnership for supporting growth and opportunity in our communities in County Monaghan.
Our Strategic Plan 2023-2028 is progressing well and progress is being monitored by our board through a dedicated Dashboard. The strategy is a key framework for MID activities over the coming years and is keeping us focused on ensuring complementarity of programme activities, maximising impact and working towards defined objectives across six pillars.
On 9th May 2024 MID board was notified that our proposed local development strategy (LDS) for LEADER 2023-2027 was successful and that MID was awarded the contract as the Local Action Group(LAG) to deliver the LEADER strategy in county Monaghan with a budget of €5,985,778. This was welcome news and was a strong endorsement of the quality of the LDS submitted by management and the strong track record of MID in delivering several previous LEADER LDS’s.
The new SICAP 2024-2028 strategy which now spans five years began to be implemented during 2024. The Annual plan for the first year was already agreed as part of the tendering process and work has been intense on bedding in the new programme. SICAP 2024-2028 still has two specific goals:
GOAL 1 – Contribute to Building more Sustainable, Inclusive and Empowered Communities.
GOAL 2 –Empower Disadvantaged People to Improve the Quality of Their Lives.
The LCDC choose three specific Target Groups for county Monaghan under SICAP 2024-2028 from a potential list of 12. These were:
(1) People living in disadvantaged communities (5 areas specified by LCDC), (2) People living in jobless households or households where the primary income source is low-paid and/or precarious, and (3)International Protection Applicants. MID as the Programme Implementer will continue to work closely with LCDC partners in implementing the SICAP 2024-2028 Strategy over the remaining 4 years.
Our TUS community employment scheme and the Rural Social Scheme (RSS) continued to provide a very important support for our community based groups and charities countywide who need the scheme staff to help deliver their activities.
The Local Area Employment Service (LAES) which is delivered across counties Monaghan and Cavan also had a busy year and is a critical programme in the MID model of Integrated Development. The task of linking those who experience unemployment to local job vacancies and working with other statutory bodies to address training needs and skill shortages is working very effectively.
Our Volunteer Centre had a very strong year in 2024 with 363 new registrations, 275 volunteers identified and placed with 72 community and voluntary groups. The Volunteer Centre has promoted volunteering at community level and provided important training for groups in managing volunteers. The Volunteer Centre project provides an important matching service for potential volunteers and community based organisations and charities who require volunteers to deliver their activities.
Supporting the integration of new communities and crisis refugees in their time of need continues to be a key focus area for policy makers. This task requires joined up approaches at national and local level, leading to effective co-design of solutions and effective multi-actor collaborations. From a social inclusion perspective, the board of MID look forward to working with all relevant stakeholders and playing our part in this important task. Across our programme activity, significant support was provided to new communities in the county who were either in the refugee system under International Protection Applicants or as Ukrainian crisis Refugees seeking shelter in the county from the ravages of the war back in their home country. The effective and rapid response by Local Development Companies like MID and our programme staff to these emerging challenges has been acknowledged at Departmental and political level as being very effective.
The Migrant Support Centre in Monaghan town and its outreach capacity under the SICAP programme is proving to be a very important support for new community members making county Monaghan their home, including Ukrainian crisis refugees, International Protection Applicants and members of the Roma community.
In conclusion, I would like to extend my thanks to all my fellow board members for their continued commitment to MID and to express my thanks to Gabriel O Connell, CEO and all the staff for their dedication and commitment in carrying out all the various programmes within the company over the past year.

CEO Report
Chief Executive Forward: Gabriel O’Connell
This report outlines the work of Monaghan Integrated Development CLG (MID) over the last year and reviews the main programmes. The importance of the Core programmes like Social Inclusion Community Activation Programme (SICAP), LEADER and the Local Area Employment Service (LAES), are critical interventions for MID and afford us the platform from which to develop other
complementary interventions and initiatives.
However, like other Local Development Companies (LDC), this dependence on the Core Programmes to sustain management and overhead costs has its challenges. In the current era of periodic procurement for these non commercial programmes, the possible downsides of not re-securing a contract for a new contract period could have a significant impact on overall activities of the company. This issue would benefit from been given more attention by Government who’s interest it must be to see stable local development companies being available to undertake delivery of the suite of programmes on behalf of the State and to ensure continuity of the operations of the programmes and initiatives at a local level.
Under the new SICAP 2024-2028 programme, the KPI targets for the year were 35 groups supported (39 achieved) and 365 individuals supported (428 achieved). The Community Development Team also expanded our collaboration with the HSE, through a number of HSE funded initiatives which adds significant value to our social inclusion work: Older Persons Health Supports, including a Meals on Wheels service in the Carrickmacross area, which supported 44 clients with 5,434 meals during the year.
The Intercultural Health Supports project works to support and signpost new community members to appropriate medical services. Thanks to HSE funding, we also advanced our work on establishing a Traveller Health Support Service for county Monaghan. Initially establishing baseline Traveller numbers and Traveller health issues. Our Parenting Monaghan initiative delivered important training interventions including, Parents Plus Early Years (0-6 years), Parents Plus Adolescents (11-16), Parents Plus ADHD, Parents Plus Healthy Families, Circle of Security Programme, Buggie Buddies 2025 and One to One online Parenting Support. During 2024 MID also started an IFI funded, Cross Border Parenting initiative which involved delivery of training programme to Parents in 4 schools in south Monaghan and south Armagh.
In addition to the HSE funded initiatives, MID also supported a total of 15 community services with HSE section 39 funding in 2024. A total of €132,750 has been allocated in varying amounts to 15 organisations/groups. These groups vary in the types of services offered and capacity etc with some offering weekly, bi-weekly and monthly services with most offering a hot meal and others offering a snack.
The Local Area Employment Service completed its second year of operation by end of August 2024. The service worked with a caseload of 929 clients during the 12 month period. Notwithstanding a small shortfall of referrals for this period, all performance targets for Engagement starts and Personal Progression Plans were achieved by our LAES team for the year. The LAES service achieved a customer satisfaction rating of 96%, which is a significant achievement in the area of public service provision. MID were delighted to launch the new LEADER programme 2023 – 2027 on 31st May 2024. A budget of just under €6 million has been allocated to county Monaghan to invest in local communities and small businesses. Following the launch, the LEADER team have been promoting the funding and development opportunities throughout the county and over the early months since the launch interest has been very strong.
Late in 2024 MID was successful in receiving funding for a Rural Recreation Officer (RRO) post for County Monaghan who will work to further develop walks and rural recreation infrastructure in the county. The full time RRO role will commence in early 2025.
At year end, the TUS and RSS were providing 135 scheme workers to 94 community based groups supporting community activity across county Monaghan. This represents a significant resource been made available to the community groups across county Monaghan.
During 2024 our Volunteer Centre saw the move to a new structure of funding for volunteer centres. A new objective and funding stream will focus on actions related to the National Volunteering Strategy which will come into effect in 2025.
Turnover for MID for 2024 was €3,084,515 which was broadly in line with the previous year.
Our staff teams are extremely passionate about the work they do and about ensuring that their work makes a ‘real and positive difference’ to the lives of the people we work with. Through their energy and commitment to the MID objective of ‘supporting growth and opportunity’ , I believe that we are making a difference.
I want to express my appreciation to our Chairperson Mary Mullen for her continued support and commitment to the work of MID and to acknowledge all the board members for their continued commitment to community-led local development and to collectively working to create developmental opportunities for individuals and communities throughout County Monaghan.
On behalf of the MID, I want to acknowledge the contribution of all of our funders and to thank them for continuing to embrace our community led local development model of integrated local development. Working together we all achieve more.

LEADER Programme
Funded by the EU and the Department of Rural & Community Development
Funded by the EU and the Irish Government the LEADER programme aims to develop rural areas both socially and economically. The programme offers guidance, support and grants to local businesses and community groups and focuses on three themes; Economic Development and Job Creation, Rural Infrastructure and Social Inclusion and Sustainable Development of the Rural Environment.
2024 was a busy year, with the LEADER team focused on the finishing of the 2014-2022 LEADER programme, the completion and payment of all projects funded under this programme.
In April 2024 MID received confirmation that they were identified as the successful tender in the 2023-2027 [programme].
MID were delighted to welcome Minister Humphreys to launch the new 2023-2027 LEADER programme in the MID Office in Castleblayney on the 31st May 2024.
Key LEADER outcomes for 2024
- 2023-2027 LEADER programme launched
- Independent Evaluation Committee for 2023-2027 programme appointed
- €613,260.75 approved for new projects under the 2023-2027 programme
- 2014-2020 LEADER programme completed; €7,804,702.19 paid out to projects in this programme
Projects Completed in 2024 under the 2014-2022 LEADER Programme
Projects completed and paid in 2024 have included the development of community infrastructure, the purchase of large industrial equipment, tourism accommodation, community renewable energy technology, environmental A&D and training projects. A sample of just a few of the projects that received full payment in 2024 are below.
ADDA Build Limited is a relatively new company who are manufacturing roof trusses and joists in a rural unit just outside Tydavent. The company availed of LEADER funding to assist them in the purchase of 3 key pieces of equipment; a Truss Press, a Web beam Roller and a Component Saw. With the assistance from LEADER the business has gone from strength to strength and they have increased their workforce by 10 employees.
The promoter stated that “They would like to thank Monaghan Integrated Development who were a tremendous support during the process and also Monaghan LAG for putting faith in their rural business and providing them with funding to make the project possible” .
Rockcorry Divers and North Coast Search and Recovery are a Monaghan based sub aqua club with divers trained in search and recovery. The 42 members are qualified to carry out dives using mixed gas closed circuit rebreathers to a
maximum depth of 150m. Although most of their work is based in the local areas of Louth, Cavan
and Monaghan, they also cover all parts of Northern and Southern Ireland. With support from LEADER, the group purchased a range of
equipment that included air breathing compressors, ocean management systems, a gas booster pump and regulator, a Nitrox unit, diving
dry suits and 3 twin axle trailers to carry rigid inflatable boats.
The group writes “our primary focus is on search and body recovery in water-related incidences. Tragedies involving water can have devastating effects on families and communities. The psychological and emotional toll on those affected is immeasurable. Your funding enables us to have new life support equipment that will require less maintenance and due to it being brand new this ensures that our divers are equipped with the best tools to perform their critical duties.”
The group adds “due to the complexity of the project, it is highly improbable that we would have succeeded without the genuine help and assistance of our(LEADER) Development Officer”.
Local Area Employment Service
Funded by Department of Social Protection
Monaghan Integrated Development (MID) in partnership with Cavan County Local Development (CCLD) were awarded the contract to deliver the Local Area Employment Service Lot 4 covering County Monaghan & County Cavan in August 2022. The aim of the service is to support long
term unemployed jobseekers to gain full-time permanent work.
The LAES specialize in supporting long term unemployed jobseekers and addressing barriers to employment. We provide tailored approaches to upskilling, training, education options, and preparing jobseekers for the open labour market.
The LAES has 3 main offices in Monaghan Town, Carrickmacross Town and Cavan Town. In addition we provide the service in a number of outreach locations such as, Ballyconnell, Bailieborough and Cootehill in County Cavan and Castleblayney, and Clones in County Monaghan.
Our Outcomes 2024
- Number of new long-term unemployed jobseekers referred: 873 (513 County Monaghan & 360 in County Cavan)
- 929 long term unemployed jobseekers attended initial one to one meetings and 777 case managed jobseekers developed a Personal Progression Plan and attended monthly LAES meetings
- 60 jobseekers gained full-time employment that lasted more than 17 weeks and 94 jobseekers moved into various types of employment such as full-time, part-time and self-employed during 2024
- 96% of LAES clients were satisfied with the LAES service
Local Development working together
Clients that are case managed by the LAES benefit from the cross-referral and working together with MID in County Monaghan and CCLD in County Cavan.
LAES clients benefit from referrals to:
- Tus & RSS schemes: Providing jobseekers 12 months supported work placements in their local
communities. These schemes provide real valuable periods of work, builds confidence and skills while adding work history, qualifications and references to a CV. - SICAP supports: Address barriers to employment such as providing life coaching, financial supports for training and education and
learning to drive assistance. Clients interested in self-employment options attend the Start Your Own Business Training and work towards transferring to the back to work enterprise allowance scheme. SICAP migrant supports are availed of to improve English language skills, inclusion and integration. MID Health and Wellbeing programmes guide in matter related to family caring responsibilities and referrals to health and disability services. - Monaghan Volunteer Centre: LAES clients are encouraged to register their interest in volunteering, providing valuable networking and workplace skills.
- LEADER: If individual clients are self-employment and have a business growth project, LAES Caseworkers review the LEADER themes and signpost to the LEADER Development teams.
The LAES team work to progress all clients building their work skills, confidence, motivation and connecting clients to all the resources, agencies and schemes that provide valuable stepping stones towards sustainable employment.
Client Testimonial
Client Profile: Male aged 31 living in Castleblayney
I found the LAES service very good, they supported me a lot with reviewing my skills, employment history and exploring what employment would suit me best. One evening my LAES Caseworker phoned me explaining a local employer was looking for staff in a family food egg business. We reviewed the job and the LAES Caseworker contacted the employer and arranged a meeting. I started the job last month, it’s local and suiting my situation as I have a family member unwell so staying local is essential for me.
Social Inclusion and Community Activation Programme
Funded by Department of Rural and Community Development
The Social Inclusion and Community Activation Programme (SICAP) is a programme that helps people and communities who are facing social and economic challenges. It offers free support to eligible people, such as training, help finding a job, and advice on starting a business.
SICAP’s goal is to make sure everyone has a fair chance in life. It helps people build their skills and confidence so they can improve their lives. The programme also works with local communities to understand what they need and offers support based on those needs.
Overall, SICAP is about engaging with people and communities at their own level, empowering them to overcome difficulties and supporting them to create better futures for themselves and their community.
Our Outcomes 2024
- 39 community organisations supported, including 9 Social Enterprises and 5 Networks
- 25 non caseload activities engaged 518 attendees

Supporting Travellers
The Traveller Community in Co Monaghan, in common with Travellers across the island of Ireland, are among those with the poorest health
outcomes. Addressing health inequalities was a major focus of our SICAP work with Travellers throughout 2024. We were successful in leveraging HSE funding to conduct a research project with Travellers to ascertain the need for a new Traveller Primary Care Project in the County.
In addition, we arranged a number of health related activities including a Smoking Cessation Workshop and a Cardiovascular Information Session at Gortakeegan Park. Also, as part of HSE Men’s Health week, we arranged a visit for 16 Traveller Men from throughout the County to the Go-Karting Track in Newry. The Men were also presented with health Information Packs by the Health Promotion Department of the HSE.
Improving Traveller Infrastructure has been a key part of our work in the past number of years. This has been primarily done through the setting up of Monaghan Traveller Movement (MTM) and the re-establishment of the Traveller Interagency Group(TIG). 6 meetings of MTM were held on 2024, which gave members of the Travelling Community an opportunity to arrange activities/events and feed into consultations such as the new Traveller Accommodation Plan. MTM also arranged a trip to Emerald Park on 25th July. Over 60 Travellers from throughout the County attended the event, which helped to attract new members to the group.
4 meetings of the TIG were held in 2024, which enabled agencies to come together to address issues affecting Travellers in County Monaghanincluding health, employment, education/training and accommodation.
“We now feel that we have a voice at the table” – MTM Member
Starting a business to build a better future
One of SICAP’s key strengths is its ability to support long-term unemployed individuals to start a business of their own. In the 2018-2023 programme, 310 people were supported into self-employment. Close to 70% were still trading after 2 years. A key strength of SICAP is the strong relationship between the staff and the clients, before, during and after their business commences trading.
Despite the reducing numbers on the live register a total of 53 unemployed individuals progressed into self-employment in 2024. These individuals were supported with all stages involved in bringing their business to fruition, including Planning for Self-Employment training, Resilience Workshop, completion of their business plan, income tax registration, business name registration, BTWEA/STEA application. The gender breakdown was males 55% and females 45% of the total start-up businesses. There was also an increase in the number of new communities members starting businesses with 38% (20) of the new start-ups drawn from this sector.
“Gives me a lot more confidence to be able to handle being in business for myself”- SICAP client
“Made me think clearer about business priorities” – SICAP client
New Arrivals Support Programme
Funded by the Department of Rural and Community Development
The New Arrivals Support Programme, funded under the SICAP initiative, provides targeted support to individuals and families who have recently arrived in County Monaghan from other countries, including those seeking protection or resettlement. The programme facilitates their integration into Irish society by addressing essential needs such as healthcare, education, employment, housing, and community inclusion.
By providing customised assistance and organising local community-based events, the programme creates an inclusive, supportive environment that empowers newcomers to establish stable, self-sufficient lives in their new communities.
Our Outcomes 2024
- Consultation conducted with 162 new arrivals re their needs under the headings of Language; Health; Accommodation; Education; Employment; and Other Needs.
- New Arrivals support provided in 16 outreach locations.
- 316 people engaged in training and education on subjects such as English language, Irish culture and norms, health and wellbeing.
- 106 individual new arrivals supported to engage in employment and training activities including:
- 40 individuals completing Safepass and manual handling training
- 13 individuals completing driving lessons to improve mobility and work access
- 12 participants completing life coaching with tailored development goals
Clones Storytelling Project
The Clones Storyelling Project took place over 8 weeks from October 1 to Nov 26 2024 with 4th , 5th and 6th classes in St Tiernach’s National School in Clones. There were approx 99 children in all who took part. 42 of the 99 are EAL students (English is their second language) and many of these attend extra support classes in the school.
The school population at St Tiernach’s National School has seen a large increase in recent years and now includes children from: Algeria, Brazil, Bulgaria, El Salvador, Lithuania, Morocco, Nigeria, Poland, Romania, Russia, Syria, Timor East and Ukraine. Some of these children have a good grasp of the English language, but others are very recently come and struggle greatly to communicate with teachers and peers. Those struggling with English receive extra help from the EAL teachers in the school, but any opportunities for them to practice their English and use the English they have learned are very much welcomed.
“The students were telling me their stories each week. They were animated and excited by the project” – EAL teacher
“Some 5th class students told their stories in their mother-tongues…it opened a great conversation about the languages, the similarities between the languages and the differences between the languages” – Aideen McBride, Storyteller.
Constructing a new life in Ireland
The SICAP New Arrivals worker visits IPAS Centres countywide and provides one to one support to individuals within the asylum system. One such centre is the M-Hotel in Carrickmacross.
When a group of Jordanian men arrived in County Monaghan late in 2024, SICAP staff helped them access ESOL classes and participate in the local Fáilte Isteach conversation group. Fáilte Isteach is an invaluable way to provide local orientation and to support integration whilst gaining language skills. The one-on-one guidance SICAP provides allowed the development of support plans for each of the men. Many expressed a desire to gain employment and all had a work entitlement due to their length of time in Ireland. The men were progressed to an Arabic Safe Pass and Manual Handling training course that was arranged by SICAP. 15 men have now secured employment in the construction sector.
“At the beginning, everything was difficult for me, but then I met Leila, the New Arrivals Support Worker, and she introduced me to the English classes, then to the Safe Pass course. That allowed me to find a job at the constructions field when I moved to Cork. ”- Fadi (Client)
Older Persons Supports
Funded by the HSE
The older persons support programme is a partnership between the HSE and MID. The programme provides a range of supports to older people in our community, including support for social day groups and for groups delivering Meals On Wheels across the county.
These groups deliver a valuable social outlet for many older people and help to reduce social isolation. The range of supports offered has a positive impact in communities where our most vulnerable are supported to live independently and build connections.
Beyond individual benefits to our older residents, the range of supports on offer also affords many volunteering opportunities to local residents with attendant rewards for volunteers .

Rural Recreation and Walks Scheme
Funded by Department of Rural and Community Development with the Support of Fáilte Ireland
The Department of Rural and Community Development and The Gaeltacht, with the support of Fáilte Ireland, funds the employment of Rural Recreation Officers through Local Development Companies across Ireland. The Rural Recreation Officer (RRO) is responsible for helping to
implement the National Outdoor Recreation strategy, and works with local communities to develop, maintain and promote walking and cycling trails in their locality.
One of the key objectives of Embracing Ireland’s Outdoors, the National Outdoor Recreation Strategy 2023-2027, was the expansion of the Walks Scheme. The Walks Scheme offers maintenance payments to private landowners to keep trails clear and safe for walkers, and funds
the purchase of materials for trail infrastructure upgrades and other works. It provides an income stream for rural communities and encourages tourism and related economic activity.
In 2024, Minister Heather Humphreys announced the expansion of the Walks Scheme to include 62 new walking trails, including The Monaghan Way, a 21km walking trail managed by Monaghan County Council that links the town of Castleblayney to the historic village of Inniskeen.
The RRO also assists community groups seeking funding through the Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme to develop and enhance outdoor recreation initiatives in their area.
Our Outcomes 2024
- Sport Ireland gave approval in principle for The Monaghan Way to join the national Walks Scheme
- With the help of Monaghan County Council, 42 potential participants along The Monaghan Way were identified and invited to join the Walks Scheme
- A final drawdown request was submitted on behalf of Bawn Area Community Group CLG for €17,052.62 in ORIS funding upon completion of works to resurface a pathway to Derrygooney lake
- Works were completed on separate ORIS project by Bawn Area Community Group to install a pedestrian footbridge at Senator Billy Fox Memorial Park
Tracks & Trails: The Monaghan Way
The Monaghan Way was featured in an episode of Professor Diarmaid Ferriter’s RTE television series “Tracks & Trails” that aired April 19th 2024 andincluded an appearance by the Cavan-Monaghan RRO, Leona Galligan. The history of the area and the unique beauty of the drumlin landscape and border lakelands along the trail route were highlighted at length.
“We’re very grateful to the landowners for access to the Monaghan Way and the only thing they ask in return is that people respect it which the walkers do” – Cavan and Monaghan RRO Leona Galligan
Bawn Area Community Group - ORIS Success
In 2024, €17,052.62 of previously approved ORIS Measure 1 funding was claimed for the purposes of upgrading access to Derrygooney lake (ORIS Project Reference OR121MN06). Situated in a secluded rural location, the lake was previously largely inaccessibleexcept by off-road vehicles. It is now accessible via a scenic riverside pathway open to walkers, cyclists and persons with reduced mobility.
The scope of the project included the resurfacing of the path, planting of native broadleaf trees, and the development of a launch site for small boats at the lakeshore. A site visit by the RRO was made in December 2024 to certify that works were completed prior to the final drawdown.
Bawn Area Community Group CLG had also previously secured €29,970 of Measure 1 funding (ORIS Project Reference OR122MN07) for the installation of a pedestrian footbridge across the stream at Senator Billy Fox Memorial Park in Bawn.
Works on this project were also completed in late 2024, with the final drawdown scheduled for 2025, subsequent to inspection and certification by the RRO.
Rural Social Scheme
Funded by Department of Social Protection
The Rural Social Scheme (RSS) is an income support scheme designed to offer part-time ‘Off the Farm’ employment opportunities within community and voluntary organisations. It is aimed at farmers—and in some cases, their family members—who are in receipt of specific social welfare payments.
Participants on the RSS work 19.5 hours per week, with flexible scheduling to accommodate their farming commitments. The roles are diverse and focus on supporting local community, voluntary, and not-for-profit groups. Tasks may include maintaining community and sports facilities, assisting Tidy Towns initiatives, working in community cafés and charity shops, providing administrative support, and delivering social care services, particularly to older people.
Our Outcomes 2024
- 42 Community Groups benefited from 73,003 hours of work provided by RSS participants
- 25 opportunities of Training was provided to participants in 2024, inclusive of Manual Handling & First Aid, Small Machinery, HAACP
- €6,000 from the materials grant was instrumental in enabling key community projects with limited resources to proceed, ensuring their successful implementation.
- 11 New RSS participants were facilitated on the programme in 2024
Testimonial: Carrickmacross Lace Gallery
“We at the Lace Gallery are fortunate to be supported by both the RSS scheme and TÚS programme. They provide a valuable stepping stone
on the road back to employment and whilst mental health and confidence often suffers when unemployed, the schemes have been very beneficial in improving self-esteem.
The placement at the Lace Gallery has provided the opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of the very detailed nature of lace making techniques and how it plays an important role in the history and heritage of Carrickmacross as a whole.
This in turn enables us to deliver accurate information to customers and tour groups who visit the Gallery, ultimately improving
skills in communication and empathy. The daily running of the Gallery also involves work using computer systems, stock monitoring systems, handling monetary transactions and record keeping, and learning these systems have further enhanced our skill base.
Both the Tus and RSS programmes have been hugely rewarding for all involved and have benefitted both the staff members and the gallery as a whole. The experience has been very positive and enhanced our CV’s ultimately improving our future employment prospects . Thank you.”

- environmental services (for example, conservation and maintenance of national walkways)
- caring services (for example, childcare, care of older people)
- general community services (for example, newsletters or information provision for communities)
- heritage and cultural services (for example, local heritage project)
Our Outcomes 2024

Ionad Pobail Dhúthamhlachta - Doohamlet Community Centre
We want to highlight the success and impact that an invaluable Tús placement has had on the community group Doohamlet Development and Tús participant Fiona Mulligan who joined the Doohamlet team through the Tús programme in 2023, finished her placement successfully in 2024 and then transitioned to secure a permanent position with the Community Services Programme and is now serving as a Support Worker.
The Centre provides a space where people of all ages and backgrounds can come together to learn, share, socialise, and grow. Doohamlet Community Centre provides programmes that cater to everyone, from young children to older adults, and include health and wellbeing classes, educational workshops, cultural events, support groups, and community cafés. Key groups Doohamlet Community Centre support include: Doohamlet Bluebells Women’s Group (over 60 members), Mid Monaghan Social Club (older adults), Acquired Brain Injury Support Group, Creative Connect (arts and crafts workshops), Reeling in the Years Community Café (social connection for older people) and many more.
Tús Participant Fiona Mulligan
In the summer of 2023 Fiona who has had a physical disability for over twenty years was finding herself isolated but quite happy to stay in her Covid bubble doing online courses such as ECDL and was looking to access more learning. But speaking with her Psychologist and with their encouragement she knew she had to take steps to move forward and get back out into the world for the sake of her mental health.
Fiona, who is a resident of Doohamlet, made contact with the employment & recruitment service EmployAbility and then Doohamlet’s development officer Bridget Anne Finnegan enquiring whether a scheme placement in the centre would be possible and it was! Fiona met with Tús Supervisor Patricia Woods who checked Fiona’s eligibility and that Fiona met the criteria which she did and she started working on the Tús scheme in October 2023.
Fiona says: “I had never heard of the Tús scheme and I was very nervous and I didn’t know what to expect , my confidence was so low and I was afraid of letting people down, Patricia put me at ease and was always available for any questions I had at any time of the day. My Mental health was at a low never mind my physical issues because they will keep coming & going but with my Mental Health the difference is unbelievable and I am delighted that I done the Tús scheme so much so that I now have a permanent job with Doohamlet . I honestly do not know where I would be without the Tús Scheme and it has changed my life for the better and I would highly recommend to anyone in a similar position to myself to look about doing a Tús 12 month placement”.
Doohamlet Community Centre Manager Gwen Murphy says: “We are proudly supported by the Tús programme, whose participants play a vital role in keeping our Centre running. These staff support roles are absolutely essential and without them, our day-to-day work simply wouldn’t be possible. Fiona’s organisational skills are second to none, and she’s always one step ahead. Although her primary responsibilities involve accounts and administration, Fiona also has a fantastic eye for room setup and presentation. Along with her outstanding people skills, she has become a vital part of our team and she is a tremendous asset to our centre. Fiona is dedicated to ensuring everything runs smoothly and efficiently, always keeping things above board. We truly couldn’t operate the way we do without her invaluable contributions. Also our Tús supervisor Patricia is an incredible asset, she works closely with us and brings a wealth of knowledge, care, and commitment to her role. Her support for both the Centre and the Tús participants is outstanding and we would be lost without her “
Volunteer Centre Monaghan
Funded by the Department Of Rural and Community Development
Monaghan Volunteer Centre’s mission statement is “To promote the value of volunteering and increase the range and quality of volunteering in Co. Monaghan and Ireland”. The core of MVC’s work is bringing together non-profit organisations in searching of new volunteers and people interested in volunteering. It also provides a range of supports to individuals and organisations. In recent years MVC has also run a number of special programmes to facilitate migrants and other groups less likely to volunteer to get involved in the community.
Our Outcomes 2024
- 363 new volunteers registered
- 275 placements in volunteer roles
- 244 Garda Vetting applications processed
- Co. Monaghan Volunteer Awards presented in front of crowd over 250 people.
- First Aid and Manual Handling training for volunteers with migrant groups
- Support for Failte Isteach including volunteer recruitment and volunteer and participant outings
- “Craft and Chat” groups which brought together women of all backgrounds to knit and crochet items for various charities.
- Carrickmacross Tidy Towns Partnership
- First of its kind event with Charities Regulator for their senior staff to meet trustees from small local charities.
- Variety of other events, volunteer projects and training.
"Craft & Chat"
Our “Craft and Chat” project in partnership with Women’s Collective Ireland, Monaghan involved 76 women volunteers. Participants were aged in their teens up to their eighties, came from both sides of the border and many countries and religions. They also include women with disabilities, some of whom attended with their support workers. They knitted and crocheted items for donation to a range of charities. These included older people’s daycare, disability services, school autism units and a palliative care service who all used the items made. Items were also sold to raise funds for Cavan Monaghan Palliative Care and the Cairde Activation Centre for people with intellectual disabilities
Anne Breen, manager of Cairde Activation Centre: “The group has made an enormous impact on Cairde. Craft & Chat is a very inclusive group and it has brought together a group of like-minded people who enjoy the social aspect as well as being creative. Cairde members have made new friends and connections through a shared interest and this is fitting with our community inclusion ethos. The creative items made, have been used during Cairde’s fundraising campaigns. Including buying equipment, providing training and education programmes as well as leisure activities for Cairde members.”
Carrickmacross Tidy Towns
Our project with Carrickmacross Tidy Towns was our biggest this year. It ran for four months, involved 53 volunteers of 14 different nationalities and they gave a total of 926 volunteer hours. Our staff member managed two groups of volunteers each week for Tidy Towns, carrying out working including maintenance of flflower displays, cleaning and replanting pots, litter-picking, re-painting signs and more.
Gerry Hand, Secretary of Carrickmacross Tidy Town Committee:“The involvement of the volunteers contributed to the enhancement of our community in so many ways. On average , each Friday 30+ volunteers turned up to carry out the agreed work programme. All of the above was high profile community work carried out mostly in view of the general public and generated a very positive attitude towards the immigrant community among the local towns people. We also introduced the volunteers to members of the local Garda Community Policing Unit who visited the project quite regularly to offer advice and guidance on a range of issues. Our committee greatly appreciates the work of the volunteers and supervisor and the close links established with many of our immigrant community”
Shakeera, Volunteer on the Carrick Project: “I was honoured to do this volunteering. I really enjoyed my time doing my volunteer job. I met a lot of different kinds of people every week. Mostly friendly, and appreciated the job we have been doing. Enjoyed working with Gavin and the rest of team. I am looking forward to the next project that will come along, Thanks Again.”
