It will be an evening of discussion, entertainment and tasty treats from Forge Field Farm Shop. Proceeds are going to Women’s Aid.
Dr Linda Kiernan Knowles, a lecturer on Gender and Women’s History in Trinity College will be the MC with a line up of female speakers from diverse backgrounds including co-founder of NGO Development Perspectives, Mog Downey; renowned writer and former writer-in-resident with Meath County Council, Nicola Cassidy; founder of Drogheda Dolls, Natalie Kelly; Maria Flynn, owner of Ballymakenny Farm; and EU Climate Pact Ambassador and Senior Engineer, Caroline Corrigan with more to be announced.
Mairead Finnegan, one of the organisers of the event has said, “Everyone has had a rollercoaster of emotions these last few years with the global pandemic and public events were almost impossible to hold with continuing restrictions.
“This year, Termonfeckin Development Board are planning a calendar of events to bring the community together. It just so happens that International Women’s Day is our first event for the year. We have an amazing panel of local women speakers who are leaders in their own right.
We would like to thank Forge Field Coffee Shop, Ballymakenny Farm and Drogheda Dolls for their support in helping us host the evening. We decided to donate the proceeds to Women’s Aid, following the tragic murder of Aishling Murphy, ” Mairead concluded.
Tickets are €15 and they can be purchased on www.Eventbrite.ie
