An Taoiseach encourages public to get involved in the National Day of Volunteering

Today, Friday September 30th is National Day of Volunteering. Thousands of volunteers are taking part in events nationwide to celebrate the day. An Taoiseach, Enda Kenny encouraged the public to get involved in the National Day of Volunteering stating “Voluntary activity is a significant part of how we harness the willingness of people of all ages to help make life better for ourselves and our neighbours.

“By sharing experience and skills across all walks of life we ensure that our strong sense of community which has sustained us in the past will continue to thrive, particularly during these challenging times. Today is a celebration of neighbourliness and of a national volunteering spirit that has always been an intrinsic part of Irish life.

“I encourage everyone to get involved in the 2011 National Day of Volunteering to show that our greatest strength will always be the potential of our people and our communities to make a real difference” he said.
