Safeguarding:

A crucial part of safeguarding is supporting those who have been affected by institutional, clerical or religious abuse in Ireland. Towards Healing is an independent organization providing professional support for people who have experienced institutional, clerical or religious abuse in Ireland. The Towards Healing Counselling and Support Service reflects the commitment of and is funded by the Catholic Church in Ireland to meet the support needs of survivors of Religious, Institutional and Clerical Abuse and their families. To find out more about this service, please visit www.towardshealing.ie or contact freephone 1800 303416.

The Diocesan Safeguarding Committee welcomed the introduction of the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Act 2015 which came into effect on 26^th April 2023. This law establishes a new legal framework for supported decision-making in Ireland. It allows people to make legal agreements on how they can be supported to make decisions about their personal welfare, property and affairs. These new regulations are for people who don’t have the capacity to make decisions, now or in the future, without help. The Act also allows us to plan for a time when we might lose our capacity in 2 types of future planning arrangements, known as Advance Healthcare Directives and Enduring Power of Attorney.

Greyhound History

Thurles Greyhound stadium will be hosting their 75th anniversary celebration on Saturday 27th October 2023. This got me thinking about all the wonderful greyhound people and great greyhounds that came from Borrisoleigh over the years.There are so many funny stories and famous victories and lifelong friendships that were built through owning greyhounds and I would love to hear from anyone who has a photo, a story or a memory to share.
I’m interested in all stories and old photos  connected to greyhounds not just the champions.
Hopefully I’ll find out some interesting information put something together to be published on this Borrisoleigh website in a few weeks time.
Thanks very much.
