ALL community and voluntary organisations in the county are entitled to join. Membership is FREE.<\/p>\n<p>The purpose of the PPN\u00a0is\u00a0<strong><em>to facilitate the public and community sector to participate in local decision-making<\/em><\/strong>. Membership is open to all community and voluntary groups and organisations active in County Monaghan.<\/p>\n<p>The PPN is\u00a0the main link through which the Council, and many other decision-making bodies, connect with the local community, and is a fantastic source of information. \u00a0It holds workshops and public meetings, provides training to PPN members and organises consultations on issues which will have an impact on the community. \u00a0It also appoints community representatives to serve on decision-making bodies such as the LCDC, \u00a0MID, \u00a0LEADER Evaluation Committee, the new Community Safety Partnerships, Monaghan Sports Partnership, Cavan Monaghan Transport Board, Peace Partnership Board, Monaghan Walking &amp; Cycling Forum and the Council\u2019s five Strategic Policy Committees.<\/p>\n<p>This enables\u00a0the community\u00a0to take an active and direct role in policy making through their community representatives.<\/p>\n<p>Membership of the PPN is open to all community and voluntary groups in Co. Monaghan. \u00a0You can register on the PPN\u2019s website \u2013 link\u00a0at the bottom of this page.<\/p>\n<p>This is the first time in Irish history that the Community &amp; Voluntary Sector has been given the right to sit at the decision-making table BY LAW.
