New website to be launched for Tipperary Peace Convention
Deputy Canney is junior minister at the Department of Transport with responsibility for international and road transport, logistics, rail and ports. He will officially launch the new website for Tipperary Peace Convention on Tuesday, July 29, at 3.30pm at Tipperary Town Library, Tipperary Excel, Mitchell Street. The website has been designed by Alan Manning. Tipperary Peace Convention, established in 1983, is an organisation focused on promoting peace and humanitarian work, particularly through the annual Tipperary International Peace Award. The award recognises individuals or organisations that have made significant contributions to peace-building and conflict resolution. The Tipperary Peace Convention aims to promote peace through various activities, including music, discussion, and the recognition of individuals dedicated to peace. The convention also organises events like the Tipperary Song of Peace contest and commemorations for International Day of Peace and Christmas Peace Events. The annual Peace Award is the convention's most prominent activity, honouring those who have made notable contributions to peace, human rights, and humanitarian efforts. The award has been given to a diverse range of figures, including Seán McBride, Nelson Mandela, Mikhail Gorbachev, President Bill Clinton, Senator George Mitchell, Dr Richard Haass, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, Juan Manuel Santos, Ban Ki-moon, Malala Yousafzai, former Presidents Mary Robinson and Mary McAleese and organisations such as the Cluster Munitions Campaign and Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders). The most recent awardee was the Prime Minister of Qatar, His Excellency Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani. The prime minister received the award at a ceremony at Ballykisteen Hotel on July 1. The convention also organises a Song of Peace Contest, with both international and Irish entries. This year's contest is taking place on Wednesday, August 20, at Templeneiry Church, Bansha, County Tipperary. The contest is taking place in conjunction with the Darby Ryan International Poetry Contest.
