Committee on Public Petitions

Consideration of Public Petition on a Ban on Herbicides in Public Areas: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. James Callery:

We have established a strong network of contact directly with the groups around the county. That can often be the first line of communication with them. At least once a year we try to organise an event, conference or seminar for the Tidy Towns groups and the PPN members. We had one called Let’s Get Buzzing in April. Approximately 60 community representatives attended that. A range of expert speakers came in to talk at the event. We use social media a great deal, together with local radio and newspapers, in order to get the message out into the wider community.
