Alan CorcoranHOST
Well, we have to mention our sponsors, which would be Wexford County Council, um, the Arts Council, Fáilte Ireland, and Culture Ireland.
Alan CorcoranHOST
Because the, the, actually the concert which you are compering, is funded under the EU Presidency Program, wh- which is funded by Wexford County Council.
speaker_9GUEST
And tickets are very reasonably priced for all the events, at just 20 euro a pop.
FelixHOST
Was there anything in particular that inspi- inspired you to make that push?
Ciaran StauntonGUEST
Uh, well, the whole idea for this comes from Tourism Ireland and Failte Ireland, and they're two, uh, national level tourism agencies.
Ciaran StauntonGUEST
So they had commissioned research on the background of Halloween and what we needed to do in the different counties in Ireland to bring our Hall- our actual Halloween traditions and our actual Halloween culture-

Ciaran StauntonGUEST
Now, this is not Fingal, but it's one of the Macha figures that comes from, uh, Galway, and they have a deep, uh, artistic tradition in Galway of representing, uh, characters from old myths and old lores and whatever.

If you're a local business and would like to light up, too, get in touch with us, and we'll connect you with Fáilte Ireland.
CillianHOST
And if you don't have a business or a building to light up, you'll find other ways to help on their website.
CillianHOST
It's definitely a great cause to support.
Emma NolanHOST
Legging it.
Emma NolanHOST
Sorry, Failte Ireland should pay Seamus- That's what I was thinking

You mentioned it's delivered under Ireland's Home of Halloween, birthplace of sound, an initiative led by Fáilte Ireland, Tourism Ireland and Tourism Northern Ireland.
Brendan TroyGUEST
And that celebrates the birth of Halloween and the ancient traditions of sound and bringing those to life.
Brendan TroyGUEST
There are seven home of Halloween destinations and we're one of them.
Trisha LewisGUEST
So what I decided to do then was study professional cookery.
Trisha LewisGUEST
So there was a course being done through Fáilte Ireland.
Una O'HaganHOST
Okay.
Trisha LewisGUEST
So I went to CIT, uh, applied for the course, got the course, and did two years in CIT in Cork, and absolutely loved it.
Donal DoyleCORRESPONDENT
In this episode of Tip FM Investigates Building Tipperary, we're looking at the brand new Water Sports Centre in Drumminear.
Donal DoyleCORRESPONDENT
The first inland hub of its kind, built with €1.2 million in funding from Fáilte Ireland, it has showers, toilets, changing rooms and lockers, all for use by anyone using Loch Derg for swimming, boating or any other recreational activity.
Donal DoyleCORRESPONDENT
A fully accessible Changing Places facility is also being put in as part of the wider vision for the area to make it a safe and welcoming spot to visit for all.
Donal DoyleCORRESPONDENT
To get the lowdown on this project from start to finish, I spoke to the driving force behind so many of the good things going on in the area, Nina District Administrator Rosemary Joyce.

Rosemary JoyceSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Declared Lens is currently with on Commission Planola, so we're waiting for a decision on that.
Rosemary JoyceSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
In the meantime, we also have Ballina, we have Newport, we have Borsigain, we have Cloughjordan, we have Neenah and we have every other town and village in the Neenah Municipal District.
Donal DoyleCORRESPONDENT
So this €1.2 million grant from Fáilte Ireland really is only the cornerstone of the wider project to upgrade the whole Drumineer experience with an investment closer to €2 million.
Donal DoyleCORRESPONDENT
To make it an even more desirable water sports destination and designated bathing area as well as the local beauty spot it's well known as.

JP O'MaraGUEST
That's to be completed in the next couple of months, but the disabled toilet access, everything is finished at an extremely high standard, extremely easy to use with the tap system.
JP O'MaraGUEST
on the doors.
JP O'MaraGUEST
It's a very similar project to the one over Two Mile Gate so the universality of anybody that's using the lake they'll find between all those developments up along that Fáilte Ireland have invested in so absolutely brilliant development for Drumminear with us hoping to establish Drumminear as a designated swimming area which would be the first in Tipperary so having the lifeguards down there this summer on duty was also a part of that.
JP O'MaraGUEST
So look, it's one of our really great beauty spots, Drummineer, so we just like to push it on as much as we can because it would be massive for the area to develop as much as possible.
GráinneHOST
But, uh, the closest thing I could find was, uh, to dedicate this song, uh, called Agatha Christie by a, a, an artist called Coby Brown, and this is for Agatha Christie.
GráinneHOST
Now Fáilte Ireland record, you're listening to D15 Today, as I said, on D- uh, it's the Tuesday edition with Dermot and Gráinne.
GráinneHOST
And, um, actually, can I just, if we have a minute, say well done, really well done to the Clonsilla and Portarlington Heritage Society-
Hendrik Joe BurkeGUEST
