Minister Harris welcomes expansion of National Hairdressing Apprenticeship across 6 new locations
Minister for Further and Higher Education, Simon Harris, has welcomed the expansion of the National Hairdressing Apprenticeship, which will be delivered in 6 new sites.
Increased investment in the apprenticeship system over the past five years has provided a solid foundation for the expansion of apprenticeship.
Most recently, in March, Minister Harris announced the roll-out of €20 million in capital funding to respond to the growing demand for apprenticeships.
The funding allowed for a significant expansion in electrical, plumbing and carpentry places, additional COVID-related capacity in electrical and plumbing, as well as addressing equipment requirements for apprenticeships including hairdressing.
Scariff man’s work to air on RTÉ TV
March 4, 2021
THE WORK of a Scariff man will be aired on the national broadcaster from Friday evening, as part of The People’s Angelus, which is screened daily at 6pm on RTÉ One.
James Treacy, a photographer and videographer, made the piece along with his former lecturer, Martin Ryan. The short film was made at Kilmallock Mart in County Limerick and aims to reflect the rhythm of agricultural life and what the mart has come to mean, over the decades, to the fabric of farming life.
“It took me three days shooting to get the film right,” James said. “The indoor scenes had to be shot three times because to get them just right. We had about two hours of footage to choose from in the end. When we thought we had the film 100% complete, the director in RTÉ wanted us to have the gate in the auction ring fully closed at the end of the video and we hadn’t footage to match that so we had to film this last piece again.”

On the face of it, her home is a standard semi-d in a Limerick suburb, but Saara, now a trained interior designer, has put such an individual stamp on it, that it was chosen to feature as one of the 21 houses in RTÉ One s Home of the Year series this year, produced by ShinAwiL, which is due on our screens shortly.
Given that weather played a part in her decision to leave Finland, one might wonder why Saara didn t opt for a warmer clime than ours. Fortunately, she had no illusions about the Irish weather - she had lived here for a year when she was 12 and knew exactly what it was like.

COVID has turned numerous previously successful careers to dust.
And while we will rise again, one of many to suffer have been photographers. Gatherings of any size have been shot down by coronavirus. One young man starting out on his photography and videography career is hoping for more exposure.
James Treacy is offering his services to one lucky couple for the princely sum of €5.
“It was inspired by Joe Duffy and his Fiver Friday,” said James, who has taken the idea and ran with it.
