A visit to St. Cronan’s by the Kennedy Park Residents Association
14th June 2017
Once a fortnight, Service Users in St. Cronan’s use their community integration activity to meet with the Kennedy Park Residents Association for tea/ coffee and a scone at Lou Ryans’. Today, as part of their Independent Living Skills activity they invited the residents into their service to display their culinary and serving skills.
They devised the menu and with assistance prepared the food. Everyone came.
It was self service and service with a smile!
We look forward to future gatherings with people in our community

A Day of Action
National Spring Clean Week
One of the components of Green Flag success is entitled “Informing & Involving”. Today we were involved in a clean- up with the Kennedy Park Residents Association of their estate, situated a short distance from our main service location in Roscrea. It was part of National Spring Clean Week which is An Taisce’s premier anti-litter campaign occurring during the month of April.
We had eighteen of our service users assisting in the activity. They came from the Green Flag Committee and from our service locations in Nenagh, Birr and Roscrea. The successful event was described by some of the participants as enjoyable and a valuable community experience. The Kennedy Park Residents Association thanked us for our assistance and invited us back in six weeks when they will be decorating their estate with floral displays in window boxes.

A Day Trip to Kilmainham Gaol
Clients at the Parish Centre have for the past year, being planning a trip to Dublin to visit Kilmainham Gaol. This project was designed and implemented by the clients and received guidance from their Senior Instructor, Patrick Collins. Areas that they significantly contributed to included:
Research into choice of venue,
Identification of the most suitable transport,
Estimated costs,
Development of a savings scheme &
Communication with their families & their service provider.
All went to plan. We left Nenagh on the scheduled 8.35 bus and were at the gates of Kilmainham Gaol in plenty of time for the 11.30 tour of the historic complex. Clients paid their entry fee from their savings and following a 50 minute tour presented by an energised and knowledgeable tour guide it was back to Heuston Station for some food before we travelled back down the country on the bus that had been identified by the clients as part of their planning a trip activity.
Our tour presented us with some bleak facts about the prison and its prisoners from its limestone construction, through the famine era to the 1916 rebellion and its aftermath. The tourist got to experience the hostile conditions of this prison as our photo’s show.
