Calling all Marathon Runners

The ING NYC Marathon is surely the most popular marathon in the world, annually attracting over 100,000 entries with only 38,000 places available.  There is so much to see in New York during your 26.4 mile run which takes in all five boroughs of the city, many of the bridges and famous landmarks, and the finish line right in the middle of Central Park.   We can take all the hassle out of making your arrangements to ensure you get to the start line on Sunday 7 November 2010.  All you need to do is raise sponsoship for Co-operation Ireland and get out and train.  You

The Road to Kilimanjaro

Hillsborough Event

Thursday 7 May 2009
It was a great honour to be one of the staff who was invited to attend the reception at Hillsborough Castle last night and I would just like to thank Co-operation Ireland for giving me the opportunity. It was honour to meet and talk to the Queen, Prince Philip, President Mary McAleese and Dr Martin McAleese. The photograph taken with the VIPs and Staff will take pride of place in the office for a long time to come.
Last night I was proud to be part of Team Co-operation Ireland.
