President backs Know Your Neighbour

Some 71% of people living in rural Ireland believe stronger Government policies are needed to promote job growth, research published to launch Macra na Feirme’s Know Your Neighbour Weekend has revealed.

The initiative, which will run on the weekend of July 25, is now in its tenth year, and encourages people to get to know those living near them.

Events such as barbecues, family fun days, sports days, and community clean-ups take place each year as part of Know Your Neighbour, which this year is sponsored by Calor.
