This is an artist-led creative climate action project in celebration of the NPWS Little Tern conservation run by BirdWatch Ireland, and supported in partnership by Iarnród Éireann with location, advisory and operational support. An art installation built from Iarnrod Éireann safety signage was installed at Kilcoole train station in Co. Wicklow, in celebration of Ireland’s largest Little Tern Colony. The partnership, collaboration and community engagement embedded into this project ensured the achievement of environmental goals and also supported local environmental groups and communities.   To learn more about the Tern the Tide and Birdwatch Ireland Little Tern Colony conservation work see website - https://lnkd.in/eWjzZ2d2   https://lnkd.in/eNE6jbX7

Introducing our Youth Board Following a hugely competitive selection process with 251 applicants, with an outstanding standard of applicants, we selected 15 young people to be part of our first ever Youth Board. Meeting for the first time this week; Aisling, Aliyah, Aoife, Daibhidh, Dan, Latisha, Leo, Lilian, Melodie, Molly, Jack, James, Jason, Sai and Sarah-Jayne will act as CIE Group’s advisory board, providing insights, feedback and ideas to feed into CIÉ’s board. The Youth Board is an innovative way to support our Board; helping bring fresh perspectives and the desired outcome is that we unlock new insights and ideas that support problem solving and innovation opportunities faced by CIÉ Group. Together, they are invited to share a youth perspective on operational issues, sustainability and communications. They will make recommendations on new ways to encourage the public at large to move from private to public transport. Fiona Ross, Outgoing Chairperson of the CIÉ Board, spearheaded the project in partnership with Lorcan O'Connor O’Connor Group CEO of CIÉ, Aidan Grogan, Head of Group Human Resources, Miriam Hughes, Chair of Bus Eireann, Emer Murray Bus Board Member and Ann Neary, Manager Group Secretariat. The marketing of the recruitment and framework for the Youth Board was developed by our project partners at THINKHOUSE and The Youth Lab. Yesterday was our first Youth Board gathering. We met at CIÉ HQ, Heuston Station and later, at Irish Rail, Inchicore Works, to show them some of the newest lower carbon additions to the CIÉ fleet; an electric Dublin Bus, a Bus Éireann Hydrogen bus and a prototype of the new battery electric DART+ train, the first of which will be arriving into the country this Autumn. At CIÉ, we’re on a journey to transform Ireland’s public transport system. We believe that having the perspective of young people, through a Youth Board, influencing our decision-making, will make us better as an organisation and deliver better outcomes for Ireland. We’re excited that this diverse group of creative, forward-thinking, ambitious young people will collaborate with us to evolve and grow Ireland’s public transport system, future-proofing CIÉ. We were blown away with the quantity and quality of applicants. So many talented young people applied and we are delighted to have secured such a skilled and diverse group to sit on our first Youth Board. We can’t wait to see what they will achieve and have no doubt that their input will leave a lasting legacy for CIÉ and all who use public transport.   #TRAILBLAZERS #YOUTHBOARD #CIEGROUP #CIE #YOUTH
