Community Check in Cards

The HSE are finding that those that older and vulnerable members of the community that have been cocooning are finding it difficult to start to socialise again. Your community group could help by delivering ‘Check-In’ cards to older and vulnerable persons in your communities and inviting them to participate in community activities that are being planned. This neighbourly non-contact check in invites people to stay connected and reach out if they need support. If your group wishes to participate contact the PPN on 057 8665661 or email ppn@laoiscoco.ie

Please be kind to your community Bag it, Bin It!

Dog owners please be considerate of others in your community. Wheelchair users, parents with buggies and people with visual impairment can end up bringing remnants of the dog poo home with them as it gets easily stuck to wheels and canes.

Dog Fouling

Please share if dog fouling is your pet peeve.

Dog fouling degrades our towns and transmits disease. Picking up after your dog is now the norm and only a small proportion of inconsiderate dog owners don’t clean up after their dogs. Do the right thing: Bag It, Bin It.
