The L.I.F.E. Programme had the distinct honour of MCing the NEIC Annual Report & Strategic Plan Launch. We couldn’t be more proud of the remarkable individuals who represented our programme so confidently and passionately in front of a packed room.
Level 5 student Pippa Kelly and Level 4 student Mason McKevitt delivered speeches that truly stood out. They are amazing examples of what the L.I.F.E. Programme stands for, and both students captured the essence of the programme and its positive impact on their lives, sharing their personal journeys.
Our Lead Programme Coordinator, Craig Caffrey, had the pleasure of introducing these two inspiring speakers to the stage. Pippa and Mason did not just speak about their experiences; they also had the honour of introducing the esteemed guest speakers—Taoiseach Micheál Martin, Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe, and NEIC Chair Jim Gavin—who each delivered powerful and inspiring speeches.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to the NEIC for giving the L.I.F.E. Programme such an important role in this prestigious event. We also appreciate Taoiseach Micheál Martin, Minister Paschal Donohoe, and Jim Gavin for making Pippa and Mason feel so welcome and valued throughout the day.
Our gratitude extends to the incredible partners who have helped shape the success of the L.I.F.E. Programme: North Wall CDP, City of Dublin ETB, NEIC, Bohemian Football Club, and National College of Ireland. Your support is vital in helping make the L.I.F.E. Programme what it is today.
Finally, to Pippa and Mason: With determination and hard work, there’s no limit to what you can achieve!
