2012 PRIDE OF PLACE FESTIVAL – WITH IMAGES FROM 1977
TO VIEW THE FULL 1977 BROCHURE PLEASE CLICK HERE
The Community of East Wall has been honoured to be chosen to represent Dublin City Council in the national “Pride of Place” initiative. We are delighted to participate , and we all know the tradition of community spirit and a sense of “pride of place” are not new concepts in East Wall . In the mid to late 1970′s the community festivals were tremendous occasions , and are very fondly recalled over 35 years later . The brochures produced each year are testament to the efforts made by the community in those days – long before the advent of home computers and desk top publishing they are professional and lovingly produced . Containing not only a timetable of events ( and impressive it was too) , each brochure was also a collection of art and literature by local residents , history articles and social commentary . Each of the four brochures produced (1975 to 1978) are wonderful souvenirs of those moments in our communities history , and reading them today the sense of community and the “pride of place” felt by those involved is unmistakable.
As our community prepares for the “Pride Of Place” events of 2012 , it is timely to recall what has gone before. Today we present in full the 1977 edition for you to enjoy and share . Enjoy…

Dublin Inner City Employment & Enterprise Services Expo
location : Gresham Hotel, O’Connell Street, Dublin 1.
20th June 2012
Gresham Hotel (O’Connell Suite)
Time 10.30-12.30
With the rising numbers of unemployed and the increasing difficulties people are faced with when trying to find employment opportunities, a need has been identified to hold an employment & enterprise services expo.
The idea is to hold an event where groups providing supports to the unemployed can exhibit and advertise their services. This is not intended to be jobs fair but a showcase of the range of employment and enterprise supports available within the inner city such as the provision of training and education, job clubs, social welfare support etc.
If you are aware of any Individuals or groups who may benefit from this event please make them aware of it.
Entrance is free.
