People power prevalent at LEADER public meeting

People power can never be underestimated and when 400 people turn up at a public meeting in Mayo to support a cause that has changed so many of their lives, then a clear and concise message must be taken from that.

The future of a local development company in Mayo could be in jeopardy if it loses the contract to apply for LEADER funding and administer that same fund.

Dear editor,

Think before you type

Finally the issue of cyberbullying, which has devastated so many lives in this country, is getting the attention and headlines it deserves.

From young children right up to third level stage programmes and initiatives are being launched to tackle this despicable behaviour carried out by individuals hiding behind computer screens and fake names who need to project their own failings on innocent victims.
