Macra news: Neighbours urged to embrace community

Macra na Feirme is calling on communities nationwide to host a local event this summer to encourage neighbours to get to know each other better.

Macra’s annual Know Your neighbour campaign was launched by broadcaster and campaign ambassador Síle Seoige this week.

It coincided with the unveiling of research which showed seven in 10 adults feel that children today feel a lesser sense of community than they did growing up in Ireland.
