Gathering in Dublin
A vibrant gathering of supporters and practitioners came together in Dublin at the beginning of January to help shape a new network of co‑operatives, bringing fresh energy and shared purpose to the movement in the South of Ireland.
Co-operatives Ireland is a new initiative lead by Sam Toland, Isabel Power, Patrick Doyle, and Aoife Smith. Tiziana from Co-op Alternatives attended with her colleagues from the Society of Co‑operative Studies in Ireland, adding their insight and enthusiasm to the day.
The Irish Society of Co-operative Studies has now launched its LinkedIn page, and everyone interested in co‑operatives across this island is invited to follow and stay connected with this growing community. Society of Co-op Studies Ireland SCSI .
