The majority of meetings of a new partnership set up to "prioritise the voice of local communities in identifying community safety issues" in Clare will take place behind closed doors. Clare's Local Community Safety Partnership, which consists of 26 members including seven local elected representatives, has convened for the first time this week and will meet Justice Minister Jim O'Callaghan today. It's understood a minimum of six meetings of the partnership will take place each year but only one of these will be open to the media. Former Sixmilebridge councillor PJ Ryan, who's been named the group's Chairperson, says it "remains to be seen" if there'll be more transparency in the future.

The Igbo Apprenticeship System—often called Igba Boi or Imu—is a remarkable tradition rooted in the culture of the Igbo people of Nigeria. More than just vocational training, it serves as a powerful engine for entrepreneurship and community upliftment. In this system, young people learn valuable trade or business skills directly from an experienced mentor (known as the Oga) over a set period. At the end of their apprenticeship, these young trainees are not only equipped with skills but are also supported by their Oga to launch their own independent businesses.This time-honored system has played a crucial role in fostering self-reliance, reducing poverty, and driving sustainable economic growth within the Igbo community, making it one of Africa's most successful grassroots business incubation models.

A West Clare woman is hoping to be a voice for under-represented communities in her region on a new forum focused on community safety issues. Kilmurry McMahon community nurse and West Clare Aontú representative June Dillon has been appointed by Justice Minister Jim O'Callaghan to the Clare Local Community Safety Partnership.

June has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons that many people in the west of the county don't know where to turn when crime strikes.

In this episode of The Biggest Table podcast,  the discussion centers around food, eating, and hospitality as a means to experience God's love. Andrew is joined by guests Kellie Lisi and Martin Lohrmann, who co-authored the book, Food Theology: Nourishing Faith in Local Communities. Andrew, Kellie, and Martin explore the central thesis of the book—that God's love is made physical through food—and discuss their distinct approach compared to existing theological works. Kellie and Martin's work integrates practical guidance with theological reflections, aiming to bridge the gap between theological theory and community practices. They also delve into the importance of Holy Communion in Christianity, examining its transformational power and how it informs broader food practices and community involvement. The episode touches on the theological and historical aspects of food in Christianity, including its role in addressing food insecurity and fostering community. The conversation concludes with reflections on the personal and communal significance of food, especially during the holiday season.Bios:Kellie Lisi is an ordained deacon in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and serves at Wartburg Theological Seminary as Vice President for Leadership Formation.

A local community board has voted against having more concerts at Eden park, a move some Auckland businesses are describing as a handbrake on prosperity. The government wants to boost the number of gigs allowed at the venue to 12 large and 20 medium concerts a year. At the moment Eden Park is limited to six artists playing a total of 12 gigs a year. But Auckland Council's Albert-Eden local board has voted no to supporting that plan, which has infuriated the Dominion Road Business Association. Manager Gary Holmes spoke to Lisa Owen.

Nonette Royo is a lawyer from the Philippines and executive director of The Tenure Facility, a group of "barefoot lawyers" working to secure land tenure for Indigenous, local and Afro-descendant communities across the world. To date, the organization has secured more than $150 million in funding and has made progress in securing land rights covering 34 million hectares (84 million acres) across 35 projects, an area larger than Greece. Royo joins Mongabay's podcast to discuss the organization's success, its recognition as a finalist for the 2025 Earthshot Prize, and why land rights are so crucial both for cultural survival and slowing the pace of global ecological degradation. "This work is really about land tenure, and about land and people. And it is very important because at this point in our world, where we are breaching planetary boundaries, we are still hesitating to invest in the people who protect our land, our forests and our diverse systems," she says.

From finance to flotillas, and from protest to participation, this episode traces how Indigenous leadership is being expressed - and tested - in Belém.Manuella Cantalice, Focal Point for Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities at the Tropical Forest Forever Facility (TFFF), shares how Indigenous and local communities are co-designing a global financial mechanism - reflecting the novel ways in which Indigenous leadership is being built into the architecture of climate finance at COP30.Indigenous communicator Levi Tapuia, who arrived in at the COP after a 31-day flotilla, describes a voyage retracing the routes of colonisation - and contrasts the sense of unity on the river with the divisions he's witnessed on the ground in Belém.And Helena Gualinga, Indigenous and climate advocate, reflects on the frustration felt by many participants at COP30, and on the ongoing challenge of turning symbolic inclusion into meaningful influence.Where are the tensions between visibility and voice, inclusion and influence - and what it will take for Indigenous leadership to shape not just the storytelling of COP30, but its outcomes?Learn more:
