When a Partner/Family Member is in PrisonThe most recent figures show that 11,934 people were committed to prison in the Republic of Ireland in 2007. Changing Ireland teamed up with Sharon Harty from CASP to provide advice on common concerns for people who have a loved one in prison for the first time. This series of 11 videos addresses some of the more commonly asked questions. It was filmed in the Phoenix Park, Dublin, in late April 2009. The video series grew out of a CASP resource guide which was produced for volunteers and workers in CDPs, FRCs and other grassroot community groups. Community Development workers and volunteers who wish to support someone who has a partner or relative in prison should find this more detailed written guide a help. It will very shortly be posted up on our resource pages. For more in-depth advice from Sharon particularly for Community Development workers dealing with families of prisoners, visit our resource section |

A Good Day for the West of Ireland: reopening of Limerick-Galway train lineMarch 29th, 2010 saw the reopening of the Limerick to Galway passenger rail line after a 34 year campaign by activists, community groups, local councillors and politicians in the West. "Something dead has come back to life," says one of the key campaigners Fr. Micheál MacGreil. The return journey costs ¤20, it's fast (faster than the bus, at under 2 hours), comfortable and stress-free. Some of the key people involved in the reopening feature in this clip. The next stage should see the line from Athenry, Co. Galway to Tuam reopened and in time you should be able to take the train to Sligo and beyond to Derry.
