Ruth and Rachel want to thank our wonderful Secretariat, Representatives and Member Groups for another great year in the PPN!
We thank you for sharing information around the network, for supporting our training events, and for coming to Council, Plenary, linkage and thematic group meetings.
We are very lucky in Dublin City PPN to have so many terrific people who are trying to make the city a better place to live, work, study, and visit.
Thank you for all that you do.
Ruth and Rachel will be offline from 22 December until 08 January 2024!
Happy Christmas and a happy and safe New Year.
