After almost 20 years as a councillor, and having won four elections, topping the poll in two, Councillor Kathleen Codd-Nolan attended her final Enniscorthy Municipal District (EMD) meeting last week. Having announced her retirement last year, Cllr Codd-Nolan has continued to carry out her duties, remaining a strong advocate for the people of the area, but, with just weeks until she formally steps down, her colleagues were keen to pay tribute.
Over 150 officials from national and international governments, included Minister for Housing Darragh O’Brien, have attended the Enniscorthy Forum’s summit on “securing real progress toward sustainable buildings”. At the summit, leading building practitioners explored how to decarbonize buildings and create “more resilient, liveable communities” and discussed the “need to act quickly . . . to deliver high performance buildings in order to meet the climate challenge and deliver on quality-of-life aspirations around the world”.
