At DHR Communications, we’re busy this week with a number of client events, launches and training sessions. 

First up, DHR Director Dermot Ryan is addressing an EAPN seminar on ‘building public support for tackling poverty’ in Dun Laoghaire today (12.10.09).  Carl O’Brien, Social Affairs Correspondent with The Irish Times, will also address the event, along with Anna Visser, Director of EAPN Ireland.

On Wednesday, we’re delivering media training to Women’s Aid, and we’re also working with Active Retirement Ireland on their General Council meeting in Dublin, which will be addressed by Áine Brady TD, Minister of State for Older People.
