The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and Bord Bia joined forces to showcase Ireland’s commitment to expanding organic agriculture with a new organic show garden at Bloom 2025. The show garden, Nature’s Symphony: Celebrating Organic Growth, is designed to engage and educate visitors on the principles of organic production and the advantages of sustainable growing methods. The organic farming sector is growing rapidly in Ireland, as new data shows that the amount of land being farmed organically has more than tripled since 2021. Over the five days of Bloom, visitors enjoyed distinct planting zones within the garden that showcased organic crops, potatoes and other vegetables in traditional lazy beds, alongside common Irish wild plants and specimen trees. Elements of the show garden also paid homage to President of Ireland Michael D. Higgins, who is the Patron of Bloom, his support of organic food production, and his dedication to sustainability, creativity, and the arts.

John Sherlock runs a firewood business in Navan, County Meath. A lot of his firewood was sourced from his small forest holding, but as the business expanded, he sourced pulp wood from other forest operators. This pulp wood, the material from forestry thinnings, often has high-quality wood, so John invested in a sawmill to produce sawn timber that he sells to local craft workers. He also produces a number of timber products that generate more revenue than converting them to fire logs or wood chipping. John is now involved in Continuous Cover Forestry, ensuring the long-term future of his forest. He's a member of the North East Forestry Group, which he has found to be a fantastic forum for peer-to-peer learning. Forestry Booklet: gov.ie/forestrybooklet

Forestry team take home gold at Civil Service Excellence and Innovation Awards Congratulations to our Forestry team on their victory at the 10th Civil Service Excellence and Innovation Awards, held on 29 May. The team, comprising Barry Delany, Brian O’Shaughnessy, Lorraine Quigley, Frank Barrett and Mick Nolan, were awarded first place in the ‘Climate Action and Sustainable Government’ category for their project, ‘Building a Spatial Analysis Toolkit to Drive Smart and Sustainable Decision Making in Public Services in Forestry’. Two other teams from the Department were finalists in the prestigious awards with their projects on the Area Monitoring System (Eoin Dooley, Diarmuid Dwyer, Andrew Burns, Marion Graham and Ailis Robinson) and the Veterinary Inspection and Audit Programme (Elizabeth Clayton, Adam Kiely, Alan Churchill, Gerard McCallig, Elita Menendez, Caren McAteer and Derek Reddy).

Peter Farrelly is extremely active in the management of his 50-hectare mixed forest in county Meath. The size and layout of this forest is impressive. Wildlife is abundant. Keep an eye out for the pair of buzzards flying over the Sitka spruce. Unfortunately, Ash dieback (Chalara) has destroyed all three hectares of Ash planted in this forest. Peter explains the process of clearing the Ash and replanting and the supports provided by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. Peter is keen to implement Continuous Cover Forestry and have a greater mix of species of trees around the forest. He has a particular fondness for the oak that he has planted. Peter is a beef farmer too and admits that forestry is far more lucrative per/hectare than raising cattle, but it's a long-term investment. He'd definitely encourage people to get involved in forestry. He has no regrets in making the investment.

In an increasingly interconnected world, submarine telecom cables serve as the lifelines of the global digital economy, facilitating over 99% of international data exchange. These cables enable communication, finance, cloud services, and vital infrastructure to operate seamlessly across borders. Yet, despite their critical i​mportance, submarine cables face a range of vulnerabilities, from natural disasters to ageing infrastructure to accidental human activity such as fishing and anchoring. Disruptions can affect industry and government operations, as well as the ability of individuals to access​ education, healthcare and financial services. Over 200 cable repairs were reported worldwide in 2023 by the ICPC – equivalent to more than three cable failures per week on average. With the world’s reliance on stable, high-speed Internet growing every day, the resilience of these cables is paramount.​ ​Multistakeholder d​​​ialogue, including among gove​rnments, regulatory authorities, industry leaders, submarine cable experts, and international organisations, is vital for enhancing the resilience of submarine telecom cables in order to safeguard our digital future and global economic stability. 26–27 February 2025, Abuja, Nigeria

It has been 30 years since Austria, Finland and Sweden organised their respective European Union (EU) referenda that led to the accession of the three countries in 1995. Now enlargement is back as a major issue on the EU’s agenda. However, different Member States continue to have diverging preferences, priorities and concerns regarding the enlargement process. How does the accession trio of 1995 position itself in today’s enlargement debates and how have their policies evolved in recent years? Are there any shared views that could serve as building blocks for broader EU consensus – or are we witnessing three separate national perspectives that underline the EU’s lack of unity? The Trans European Policy Studies Association (TEPSA), the Finnish Institute of International Affairs (FIIA) and the Austrian Society for European Politics (ÖGfE)/Europa Club Wien, brought together experts from Austria, Finland and Sweden to discuss the three countries’ views on EU enlargement in a dedicated online discussion on 5 December 2024 at 9:30 CET / 10:30 EET. The event was hosted on Zoom and livestreamed on TEPSA’s YouTube channel. Speakers included: - Dr. Calle Håkansson, Researcher at the Swedish Defence Research Agency’s Division for Defence Analysis & Associate Research Fellow at the Swedish Institute for International Affairs (UI); - Tyyne Karjalainen, Researcher in the European Union and Strategic Competition research programme, Finnish Institute of International Affairs (FIIA); - Paul Schmidt, Secretary General, Austrian Society for European Politics (OEGfE) & editor of the ‘Future of Europe: Views from the Capitals’ series; - Moderated by Dr. Sanna Salo, Post-Doctoral Fellow in the European Union and Strategic Competition research programme, Finnish Institute of International Affairs (FIIA). This online discussion reflected on the findings of TEPSA’s latest book ‘Enlargement and the Future of Europe: Views from the Capitals’, co-edited by Michael Kaeding, Johannes Pollak, and Paul Schmidt, and published by Springer. The book gathers over 60 leading experts in 41 European countries to examine how different national histories, policies, and corresponding public perceptions can influence engagement with the EU enlargement process. It is part of an annual series coordinated by TEPSA examining important European themes from national perspectives.

Winners of the WSIS Prizes, recognizing innovative technological approaches to support sustainable development, were announced on 28 May 2024 at the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS)+20 Forum High-Level Event 2024 in Geneva, Switzerland. Overall, projects from 18 countries were presented with WSIS Prizes top honours, showcasing leading efforts to bridge the digital divide, foster digital inclusion, and drive socio-economic progress on a global scale. “This year's WSIS Prizes demonstrate the innovation and energy that exist to find technological solutions to some of the globe's biggest challenges, said ITU Secretary-General Doreen Bogdan-Martin. “These are the creative contributions that the world needs in our effort to advance the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Smartpur, Nokia’s flagship CSR initiative, is a digital village ecosystem project aimed at integrating technology into the daily lives of communities living in remote villages across India. Smartpur is executed in partnership with Save the Children India and Digital Empowerment Foundation. The project intends to empower and support local entrepreneurs through digital technology. Entrepreneurs are provided with facilities to make services across the pillars of Livelihood, Health, Education, Financial Inclusion, and Governance accessible at the village level through Smartpur centers. Beneficiaries of the project leverage digital tools to access livelihood opportunities and skill-based training programs, telemedicine services, education in technology and computer literacy, financial services such as banking, and government schemes and services. The project was first implemented in 2017 with 10 Smartpur centers established in the state of Haryana. The number of centers has since grown to 350 in 2023, established in 10 states across India. Between 2017 and 2022, 40 centers have been exited sustainably. These centers continue to provide the intended services to rural communities and generate a livelihood for the entrepreneurs. The project has created large-scale social impact – it reached over million beneficiaries. Between April 2022 and March 2023 alone, the project reached over 835,100 beneficiaries. Approximately 480,000 people were supported with access and awareness on social protection schemes and services; over 26,900 people sought digital literacy training, career counselling camps and academic support; more than 297,500 people accessed financial literacy services such as conducting digital financial transactions, opening and operating banks accounts, and financial literacy; over 17,500 received telemedicine services and attended health awareness camps, and over 9,600 people were linked with livelihood opportunities, received vocational training, and trained on life skills.

This video is an overview of Irish forestry looking at how it has grown over the past century. In 1900 only 2% of land was covered in forestry. Today the figure stands at 12% and much of this growth is down to the 24,000 farmers that have added forestry to their farm enterprise. Despite this growth Ireland still lags far behind the European average for forestry. Our ambitious Forestry Strategy hopes address this.
