Bunú Choiste Cathracha Comhpháirtíochta Laoise
Leis an gComhaontú/Cairt Cathracha Comhpháirtíochta idir Contaetha Laoise agus Williamson, Tennessee, Stáit Aontaithe Mheiriceá, gealltar go n-oibreoidh an dá Chontae le chéile chun deiseanna nua agus cruthaitheacha a fhiosrú chun trádáil, tráchtáil agus turasóireacht a chur chun cinn chun tairbhe frithpháirtí saoránach an dá Chontae.
Ina theannta sin, foráiltear sa Chairt go leagfaidh na Contaetha amach agus go gcuirfidh siad i bhfeidhm malartuithe cultúir agus oideachais lena n-áirítear malartuithe mac léinn agus múinteoirí, foirne spóirt, malartuithe cultúir agus ealaíon srl, gan bheith teoranta dóibh sin. Tá tuilleadh sonraí maidir leis na socruithe ar fáil ar https://laois.ie/events/twinning-event-sister-cities-of-franklin-and-williamson-county-laois-county-council
Tá Comhairle Contae Laoise le Coiste Cathracha Comhpháirtíochta Chontae Laoise a bhunú agus tacaíocht a thabhairt dó, chun an Chairt a neartú agus chun tacú léi agus chun deiseanna rannpháirtíochta le Contae Williamson a chothú, a fhorbairt agus a chur i bhfeidhm. Táthar ag lorg Léirithe Spéise anois ó dhaoine aonair ar mian leo go ndéanfaí iad a bhreithniú lena n-áireamh ar Choiste Cathracha Comhpháirtíochta Chontae Laoise.

Ba cheart léirithe spéise a chur ar aghaidh ar ríomhphost chuig corpaffairs@laoiscoco.ie. An dáta deiridh a nglacfar leis na hiarratais sin ná 12 pm Dé hAoine an 15 Samhain 2024.
