Re:Connect (Dingle & Sustainable Communities)

Think of Dingle, in Co Kerry, and you might be picturing breathtaking scenery, green farmland and sandy beaches, pubs and tourism, ice-cream and Fungie the Dolphin. What you may not be picturing is a Sustainable Energy Community and hub of activity and innovation, focusing on smart agriculture, sustainable transport, rural regeneration, and bioenergy. So on this, the final episode of the season, Meghann heads to Dingle to chat to three people who are at the forefront of Dingle’s sustainable future. Deirdre de Bhailís is the General Manager of The Dingle Hub. It’s a non-profit, community enterprise that connects people and organisations to develop cooperative approaches to the challenges of climate change and biodiversity loss. Dinny Galvin is a dairy farmer who describes himself as an engineer at heart. He’s been leading the way on sustainable agriculture since first getting involved with the ESB Networks Dingle Project, and the Dingle Hub. And finally Rose Spillane, also a member of the ESB Networks Dingle Project, has been working to make her bar and restaurant as energy efficient as possible.
