Plenary Meeting

Kildare Public Participation Network (PPN) extends a heartfelt thank you to all our member groups who attended and contributed to the success of our Plenary session on Saturday, March 1st, 2025, at the beautiful Irish National Stud & Gardens. Your participation and engagement made the day a truly meaningful and productive gathering.

Agenda Items included an update from the Secretariat on the Hosting of Kildare PPN, the ratification of the November 2024 minutes, as well as the presentation of the 2025 Workplan and Budget, essential tools for guiding the PPN’s activities in the year ahead. Attendees also received copies of the 2024 Annual Report. 

We were delighted to welcome new PPN representatives, marking an exciting new chapter in our collaboration with Kildare County Council. A dedicated workshop on “Representative Support” provided valuable insights into member priorities and how we can better support our representatives moving forward.

We also took the opportunity to invite nominations for new Secretariat members, encouraging our members to get involved in shaping the future of the PPN.

To round off the day, attendees enjoyed a complimentary tour of the stunning Irish National Stud & Gardens. This was a wonderful way to celebrate our community spirit while appreciating one of Kildare’s most treasured attractions.
