His explorations by kayak and bike along the coastline in West Cork contribute to his artistic expression. The sculptures in this exhibition are forged, hammered, welded and fabricated in different types of metal: mild, corten, stainless steel and bronze to create sculptures with repeated symbolic and structural forms, including ladders, boulders, chairs, boats, houses, shovels and pick axes. </span></p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; margin-left: 60px;"><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; font-size: small;">The exhibition will be opened by Catherine Fehily, former Head of MTU Crawford College of Art and Design on the 28<sup>th</sup> of March at 6:00pm, there will be a talk with the artist as part of the opening event, and the exhibition will be viewable from Monday to Friday from 9:00am to 5:30pm until Friday the 26<sup>th</sup> of April 2024.

All of these pieces feed into the Council’s quest to be net zero in carbon emissions in the ensuing decade. Cork City Council is proud to join with Muintir na Tire, Cork County Council and Atkins Garden World in this creative initiative and I encourage all primary schools in the City to enter. Participation in the competition enables young people to develop a love for horticulture and to explore the many aspects of biodiversity. It allows an opportunity to learn from this project and to begin a journey in lifelong learning when it comes to all aspects of gardening”.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">The Mayor of County Cork Cllr.

I urge all schools around the county to consider signing up this year, whether a new entrant or a long established participant, we want to see students from every town and village involved.”</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">Speaking at the launch, Mr Sean Holland of Muintir na Tire said: “If a school has a school garden or they are thinking about developing one, then the Cork School Garden Competition might be the competition for them.

Upcycling helps reduce CO2 emissions by using old materials instead of new ones. Schools are encouraged to rethink, repair, refurbish along with reusing & recycling items, e.g. Fairy Houses made from recycled materials, but don’t damage trees.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;"><b>Food Production </b>Being able to grow food without pesticides and eat it straight from the garden is superior in every way to produce that is pumped full of additives, packed to prevent it deteriorating, transported and then sold as ‘fresh’.

It is now widely recognized that climate change and biodiversity are interconnected. Biodiversity is affected by climate change, with negative consequences for human well-being, but biodiversity, through the ecosystem services it supports, also makes an important contribution to both climate-change mitigation and adaptation. We are looking for natural hedges, log piles, bird boxes, bird tables, wildflower meadows, nature trails, use of native flora, organic manures and natural pest control.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;"><b>Bee Friendly Garden. </b>Loss of natural and semi-natural habitats has been a key driver in pollinator declines.

Cork County Culture Night will take place in the 17 Culture Night Hub Towns of Fermoy, Mitchelstown, Mallow, Charleville, Clonakilty, Skibbereen, Bantry, Bandon, Kinsale, Carrigaline, Passage West, Macroom, Baile Mhuirne, Midleton, Youghal, Cobh and Watergrasshill, as well as on the islands and in other locations across the county.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-top: 0px;">For Culture Night 2024, Cork County Council will support events that provide opportunities for families, youth audiences, adults, and older people to participate. Collaborations between local groups proposing town programmes will be welcomed. Initiatives that have the capacity to animate public spaces in innovative and creative ways are also sought. There are a limited number of grants available to support the delivery of events throughout the county.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-top: 0px;">An online information session will be held on the 14th of March at 1.00pm for those interested in delivering events.

margin-bottom: 24px; margin-top: 0px;">Seachtain na Gaeilge is a national annual celebration of our native language and runs from 1st to 17th March 2024 and is delivered in Cork County by the Council’s Irish Language Office and Library and Arts Service.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-top: 0px;">“SEAL cois SULÁIN: Agallaimh Aeracha agus Lúibíní Luachmhara” is a two-part event in Ionad Cultúrtha, Baile Bhuirne. From 7pm to 9pm on Tuesday the 5th of March, Áine Uí Chuill and le Seán Ó Muimhneacháin will facilitate a workshop on developing Agallamh Beirte and Lúibíní, two famous storytelling methods embedded in the Muscraí Gaeltacht. This is a free event and open to adults and teenagers. It is an opportunity to share ideas, learn some more about the artforms of Agallamh Beirte and Lúibíní and to develop their own pieces.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-top: 0px;">The following week, on Tuesday 12th March, Ionad Culturtha will host a Taispeántas, for people to share their Agallamh Beirte, Lúibíní and stories. Led by Áine Uí Chuill, Seán Ó Muimhneacháin, Eibhlín Ní Lionaird and Paddy O’Brien, the event will offer a chance to share and celebrate Agallamh Beirte and Lúibíní, whether participants want to perform or remain in the audience. This is a free event, and everyone is welcome. Those wishing to present something should advise at the beginning of the evening. </p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-top: 0px;">Both Agallamh Beirte and Lúibíní are forms of performed dialogue. Lúibíní are sung and include a refrain or choruses, while Agallamh Beirte is a conversation between two people. Both forms can have clever wordplay, be satirical or humorous. There are often competitions for these forms, and are included in the annual Irish language gathering, Oireachtas na Gaeilge.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-top: 0px;">The Seachtain na Gaeilge programme will also include storytelling events for schools in Kinsale Library by Paddy O’Brien and a poetry workshop for children in Skibbereen Library with Pól Ó Colmáin. Authors Alan Titley and Carmel Ó Cheallaigh will also visit schools and libraries in Baile Bhuirne, Cobh, Youghal and Midleton. </p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-top: 0px;">Ciorcal Cainte groups for adults in Mitchelstown and Youghal libraries will welcome storytellers Dick Beamish and Paddy O’Brien. Those interested should contact these libraries for details on when their local Ciorcail Cainte groups meet.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-top: 0px;">For more information, contact Cork County Council’s Library and Arts Service by emailing <a class="mailto" data-extlink="" href="mailto:arts@corkcoco.ie" style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(206, 205, 199);

A total of €83,199,560 has been allocated by the Department of Transport in respect of the maintenance and improvement of regional and local roads in Cork County this year.</p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px 0px 13px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">This investment is essential in ensuring safe connectivity across our local and regional road network. It will benefit towns, villages and communities throughout the county by further enhancing connectivity, supporting businesses and making it easier and safer to travel.</p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px 0px 13px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">A total of €42,496,500 will be allocated for restoration improvement and maintenance for roads, with €1,887,840 dedicated to bridge rehabilitation works.</p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px 0px 13px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">This year’s allocation also includes a severe weather grant of €13m to address the effects of recent severe weather and to carry out essential repairs and road restoration works in the aftermath of Storm Babet. This is the first funding allocation made to the Council to enable road repairs to commence. Having prepared a comprehensive and thorough repairs programme on a countywide basis, the Council estimated the cost of restoration works to reach €50m. </p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px 0px 13px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">This year’s allocation is broadly consistent with the 2023 allocation which represented one of the most significant years of funding investment in Cork roads in recent times. While the overall allocation is positive, the allocation under the ‘Specific Improvement Grants’ category sees six of the proposed eleven priority projects being approved for funding this year. Funding to Cork County Council in this category is reduced by 33%, meaning many priority projects which were capable of being advanced will not now proceed in 2024.”</p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;

Coexisting or </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">opposing versions of 'truth' become more apparent in the times of conflict. The themes of censorship and contamination of information are explored by the artist, who uses books in various languages and other printed materials (maps, personal documents, photographs) to build up a sculptural installation, suggestive of a classroom environment. One of the books cited in the exhibition and on display is George Orwell’s '1984', where an omnipresent Ministry of Truth is tasked with erasing unsuitable knowledge and replacing it with its own version of reality.</span></span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">The exhibition title '3+5' refers to the ongoing events in the artist's country of origin, Russia. “Since the outbreak of the conflict with Ukraine, the word 'war' has been replaced with the phrase 'Special Military Operation'. A simple mathematical formula, '3+5' (нет войне, rus. 3+5 letters), became a coded message, a substitute to the punishable 'No To War'. In 2023, Russian school history books were rewritten, many other books are either banned or sold under restrictive rules”, explains </span>Evgeniya<span style="color: black;">.</span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: #202124;">The installation is accompanied by a wall sculpture, which at a first glance appears like a stain on the wall of the gallery. The 'stain', in fact, is in the shape of the map of Russia. Photographic wall prints (by an anonymous Russian photographer) document the everyday reality in the artists home city: dilapidated areas, marching youth, theatre announcements, state celebrations, police gatherings, military recruitment officers, propaganda signs emerging in the playgrounds and on the walls of the various buildings, etc.</span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: #202124;">All printed materials in the exhibition have been manipulated by the artist, stained with rust and organic matter. Rust, a chemical process evoking inflammation and wounding, is a unifying visual element spreading across the room, infecting all the objects and surfaces, and corroding the information. Some of the text and imagery becomes totally obscured, almost eliminated, while remaining visible words and images can generate unexpected meanings and thematic associations.</span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: calibri,arial,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">The exhibition will be opened on Thursday 22nd February at 6pm by Michael Waldron, Curator of Collections and Special Projects at </span><span style="color: black;">Crawford Art Gallery.

National Tree Week is an initiative of the Tree Council of Ireland and will take place this year from the 3rd to the 10th of March. The initiative invites communities to learn about the folklore of trees, their practical applications and to appreciate the importance of a healthy and diverse native tree stock. Since its inception in 1985, National Tree Week has been responsible for planting over half a million trees in Ireland, including over 4,000 in County Cork in the past 5 years alone.</p><p align="justify" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4; margin: 0px 0px 15px; text-align: justify;">The Mayor of the County of Cork Cllr. Frank O’Flynn, in support of National Tree Week 2024, is encouraging schools and local organisations to get fully involved this year, ‘<em>Trees are a critical part of our environment and support life in a myriad of ways, from climate change mitigation to our own well-being. I strongly encourage everyone to engage in the week, to learn more about natural heritage and perhaps find the time to plant a tree or two</em>.’</p><p align="justify" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4; margin: 0px 0px 15px; text-align: justify;">As noted by the Tree Council of Ireland ‘<em>Planting and establishing trees is widely recognised as a crucial component of addressing environmental challenges and promoting a sustainable future</em>.’</p><p align="justify" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4; margin: 0px 0px 15px; text-align: justify;">To be part of National Tree Week, community groups, organisations and schools are invited to organise or participate in events throughout the week. As well as tree planting, the range of events can include forest and woodland walks, nature trails, workshops, woodturning displays, talks, poetry readings, exhibitions, dramas or any other ideas that will celebrate the fascinating world of trees.</p><p align="justify" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4; margin: 0px 0px 15px; text-align: justify;">National Tree Week has been growing from strength to strength in Cork County over the past number of years. In 2023, Cork County Council allocated over 1,000 trees to over 50 groups. With thanks to the support of the Tree Council of Ireland, Cork County Council’s Heritage Unit will once again have over 1,000 trees on offer in 2024. Those interested in availing of the trees are encouraged to contact the Heritage Unit early to avoid disappointment as trees will be available on a first come first served basis.</p><p align="justify" style="background-color: white;
