Cavan Public Participation Network (CPPN)- Some Actions & Achievements in 2014 Most of you usually receive emails from me in regard to our affiliated organisations’ events and news. As we come to the end of the year I’d like to share with you some of the actions and achievements we have been working at behind the scenes. We would love to do more but with only 1 worker we have a limited capacity but we do try to support community as much as possible.
