Éamonn is CEO of North East West Kerry Development and also chairperson of the ILDN Rural Development/LEADER Committee and writes in the magazine:

“The pandemic has shown the importance of keeping in touch. It has also underlined how passionate colleagues are about the impact that LDCs have on communities and why it’s vital to continue supporting and funding the work.”

The first edition covers LEADER support for biodiversity, tourism and child welfare in Mayo, Clare, Sligo and Dublin.

It also features interviews with Jim Finn, the network’s voluntary chair, and Eilish Harrington, CEO of Fingal LEADER Partnership.
