Safety Street

Safety Street

Leaving Cert Applied students took a walk down ‘Safety Street’, Ireland’s first purpose-built interactive centre where young people can experience various realistic scenarios in a safe environment. Students were asked to navigate three realistic safety scenarios brought to life by volunteer actors from the University of Limerick.

The scenarios included:
* Personal Safety – Short Dark Alley v Long Bright Way Home.
* Life After Drugs – Tales from a recovering addict.
* That’s not ASB? – Impact of Antisocial Behaviour.

Each scenario was followed by discussions and Q&A sessions with representatives from Limerick City Council, Health Service Executive and Garda Síochána.

The initiative was organised by Limerick’s Community Coordinators (employees of LCCSP – Limerick City Community Safety Partnership Ltd) to encourage teenagers to identify everyday hazards and develop safe strategies to deal with potential emergencies, changing their behaviour to keep themselves and others safe.

Ireland bring Beamish and Downey into XV

As Published on www.rte.ie/sport Friday, 27 August 2010 16:37

Ireland have made two changes to the starting XV to play Kazakhstan on Saturday from the team that beat USA 12-22 in their last Women’s Rugby World Cup match.

Scrum-half Tania Rosser, a try-scorer against the US, picked up a shoulder injury during that game and is replaced by the experienced Louise Beamish.

Eliza Downey will make her first appearance of the tournament on the wing with Nora Stapleton dropping out of the 22.

Carol Staunton, Jackie Shiels and Yvonne Nolan are included on the bench.

Ireland hope to improve their performance in the scrum against the Kazakhs.

Commenting on the victory over the US, Ireland head coach Philip Doyle told IRFU.ie: ‘The scrum was under pressure against the Americans, but they are a strong and heavy pack and we’re not.

‘We know Kazakhstan are similar and so we’ll have to have a look at that and work on our scrums and hope to improve.’
