Joint CEO, Shauna McClenaghan ‘applauded the achievements of the large number of successful candidates’, and stated how it was ‘a great opportunity to celebrate both the breadth of activity IDP provides across the peninsula and the wonderful achievements of the people in the room.’ She acknowledged the ‘high calibre of tutors engaged in delivering these courses’ and outlined that this is an ‘essential ingredient for optimising the learning environment and promoting a culture of lifelong learning.’

Chairperson Helen Nolan welcomed the opportunity that IDP had - through its Social Inclusion Community Activation Programme (SICAP), through Donegal LCDC and other complementary programmes. such as Taste 4Success Skillnet & Donegal ETB’s Community Education Programme - to develop and deliver a wide range of courses.
