Syrian Refugee Resettlement Project

Posted on By monaghan

The Minister for Justice and Equality in consultation with the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, the United Nations High Commissioner of Refugees (UNHCR) and European Institutions agreed to undertake the resettlement of refugees displaced from their home countries as a result of conflict.  In recent years, priority has been given to the resettlement of refugees displaced by the Syrian conflict who have sought refuge in neighbouring countries in the region.

County Monaghan has been designated as a resettlement county for 20 Syrian families (totaling approx 90 persons) and Monaghan County Council has been requested to establish an Inter-Agency Working Group, where representatives of the local mainstream service providers (HSE, Cavan/Monaghan Education & Training Board, Department of Social Protection, Tusla, An Garda Síochána, Citizens Information, County Childcare Committee and Monaghan Integrated Development, etc.) come together to plan for and ensure that required services are available.

The Department of Justice and Equality’s Office for the Promotion of Migrant Integration is working with Monaghan County Council and the Inter-Agency Working Group in co-ordinating the resettlement process, under the Irish Refugee Protection Programme.

Funding has been approved by the Department of Justice and Equality and Monaghan County Council is now tendering for an Implementing Partner to enable a Support Worker and a Cross Cultural Worker to be appointed.  These supports will provide assistance to the 20 refugee families and will support the work of the Inter-Agency Working Group to promote and facilitate local integration.
Monaghan County Council, as the Housing Authority, is tasked with providing suitable accommodation to meet the needs of the families and is currently working to ensure this is available by Q1 of 2018, when it is anticipated the families will be ready for resettlement in County Monaghan.

If you are a private landlord with a property that may be suitable, please contact Monaghan County Council for further information.  Enquiries should be directed to: refugeepro@monaghancoco.ie or Telephone:  047 73745

Road safety event to take place this Friday on the N2 at Broomfield

Posted on By monaghan

McCaughey’s 24hr Service Station on the N2 at Broomfield, Co Monaghan is the setting for an informative Road Safety Awareness event this Friday 4th August 2017 from midday to 7pm. Jointly organised by McCaughey’s 24 hr Service Station, Monaghan County Council and the Road Safety Authority, the event is also supported by Top Oil, Daybreak Ireland, Monaghan Gardai, Monaghan Fire and Rescue Service, Shane Tyres Castleblayney, Ulster GAA and Northern Sound FM who will be broadcasting live from the event throughout the day.

The Road Safety Authority’s Shuttlebus and Rollover simulator will be present giving everyone an opportunity to:

• Experience simulated virtual situations and experience first-hand the dangers of driving and texting and driver fatigue.
• See how driving environments and speed affect braking distances on the brake reaction timer.
• Learn about tyre safety
• Practice you driving skills on car, motorbike & bicycle simulators.
• Take a road safety quiz in the activity zone.
• Practice the driver theory test on board.

The Rollover Simulator will allow users to experience a half or a full rotation, to show how it would feel if you were in a car which turned over in a collision and the lifesaving benefits of wearing a seatbelt. For the children, they can test their fancy footwork by dancing to the Safe Cross Code in the activity zone and practice their safe cycling skills on the state of the art bicycle simulator.

Tyres are the only part of your vehicle in contact with the road therefore they play a key role in vehicle safety. Those attending can avail of free tyre checks to ensure they comply with legal standards. As well as checking tread depth, tyres will also be examined for defects and proper inflation levels.

Experts will be on hand to provide advice on road safety issues including the dangers of driver fatigue, which has been an issue over Bank Holiday weekends as increased numbers of people take to the roads. It is estimated that driver fatigue is a contributory factor in as many as 1 in 5 driver deaths in Ireland every year.

Also present on the day will be Cú Chulainn Blood Bikes. Formed in 2016, they are a group of volunteers who transport blood, samples, x-rays etc between hospitals at no cost to the public purse for patients from Monaghan, Cavan, Louth and Meath. They also transport blood samples from family homes of sick children, allowing parents more time at home and less time travelling to hospital to leave off samples. Additionally they support sick or terminally ill children with visits to hospital or at home. The group are fully trained and all have accredited First Aid Courses.

All are welcome to attend.
