Upcoming Understanding Your Child Parenting Programme Mitchelstown
I would like to inform you of an upcoming ‘Understanding Your Child’ programme which will be commencing in Mitchelstown Primary Care Centre.
This is a 10-week programme which aims to support parents to better understand their child’s emotional development, behaviour and communication, while also helping them to build confidence in responding to their child’s needs. The programme is delivered in a supportive and informal group setting, giving parents an opportunity to learn, reflect and share experiences with others. It is suitable for parents of young children up to 8 years of age (Age range is a guide only, facilitators are open to considering parents of older children who are still in primary school).
The programme will be facilitated by Orla Geary, Public Health Nurse and Susan O’Mahony, Paediatric Occupational Therapist, both trained in the Togetherness Approach.
It is important to note that this is a closed 10-week group rather than a drop-in service, to support continuity, trust and group development over the course of the programme.
The programme is open to parents across CHNs 4 and 5. Parents who are interested or who would like to find out if the programme would suit them, are asked to phone Orla or Susan for an informal chat and further information before booking on 025-45300.
There are currently limited comparable parenting supports of this nature available locally, so we feel this will be a really positive addition to services for parents and families in the area.
We would really appreciate your support in sharing the programme widely with colleagues and with parents and families under your care who may benefit.
Please see attached poster with further details,
Many thanks,
Kind Regards,
Orla Geary

Cork County Council Invites Applications for 2027 Heritage Conservation Funding
Minister of State for Nature, Heritage and Biodiversity, Christopher O’Sullivan, TD, has announced funding for three built heritage schemes: the 2027 Built Heritage Investment Scheme (BHIS), Historic Thatched Buildings Stream (HTB) and the Historic Structures Fund (HSF).
Cork County Council is encouraging owners and custodians of historic and protected buildings throughout the county to apply for funding to repair, conserve and safeguard these important heritage properties.
The Built Heritage Investment Scheme (BHIS) provides grants of up to €50,000 to support essential conservation and repair works to historic buildings. Eligible properties include protected structures, proposed protected structures and buildings located within Architectural Conservation Areas. The scheme also offers funding of up to €30,000 for vernacular structures, i.e. buildings with distinctive local and regional character. Previous projects supported under the scheme include churches, shops, thatched houses, country houses, townhouses and school buildings.
The Historic Thatched Buildings Stream (HTB) supports repairs to historic thatched roof buildings. Owners or occupiers of historic thatched structures, whether domestic or commercial, can apply for grants covering up to 80% of eligible conservation costs, to a maximum of €20,000.
The Historic Structures Fund’s (HSF) primary focus is to assist in the conservation and enhancement of historic structures and buildings for the broader benefit of communities and the public. The fund awards a small number of grants ranging from €50,000 up to €200,000 and focuses on larger enhancement, refurbishment or reuse projects involving heritage structures, where a clear community or public benefit has been demonstrated, or where a clear residential benefit has been demonstrated. Projects must be advanced through the planning process as necessary.
Welcoming the announcement, Mayor of the County of Cork, Cllr Bernard Moynihan, said, ‘Our historic buildings are part of what makes County Cork unique. These grants will help owners protect and restore important heritage properties, ensuring they remain at the heart of our towns, villages and communities for generations to come. I encourage anyone who may be eligible to apply.’
Chief Executive of Cork County Council, Moira Murrell added, ‘County Cork is home to almost 3,000 protected structures and 52 Architectural Conservation Areas, making these grant schemes an important investment in preserving our shared heritage. In 2026, 25 historic properties across County Cork benefited from funding under these schemes, demonstrating the value of these schemes in safeguarding our built heritage.’
The closing date for completed applications under the 2027 Built Heritage Investment Scheme and the Historic Thatched Buildings Stream is 4.00pm on Friday 30th October 2026.
The closing date for completed applications under the 2027 Historic Structures Fund is 4.00pm on Friday 27th November 2026.
Applications may be submitted by email to conservation@corkcoco.ie or by post to the Heritage and Conservation Office, Floor 3, Planning Department, County Hall, Cork.
Application forms, eligibility criteria, details of qualifying works and guidance documents are available at the link below.
