I am pleased to present this Annual Report of the work of the Glencree Centre for Peace andReconciliation for 2005.

In the year that has passed Glencree has beenbusier than ever, in both development ofprogramme and management. A comprehensiveStrategic Review resulted in an ambitiousStrategic Plan covering the period 2006 to 2010,which will challenge everyone who is activelyinvolved in the work of Glencree.

In my introduction to our 2004 Annual Report Ilamented the period of stalemate on the politicalfront in that year and remarked, in hope, on thefaint signs of progress. It is heartening to notenow that a significant armed group in mid-2005declared its intention to pursue its aims byexclusively peaceful means. This, among otherpositive advances, has enabled politicians toapproach their responsibilities in a new light.

One might think that the consequent freeing upof the political log-jam would make our workeasier (or redundant). Whatever we might wish,that is not the case. Much work remains to bedone to complete the task of creating an Irelandin which neighbour respects neighbourregardless of creed, ethnic background or political persuasion.

For Glencree, rather than a contraction of itsactivities, this means an expansion of its programmes and outreach as envisaged in our Strategic Plan 2006-2010.

Dear Friends,

As Chief Executive of the Glencree Centre forPeace and Reconciliation I am delighted to bringyou this report. 2005 has been a very busy andexciting year with many new initiatives both inour programme work and at the Centre itself.

Much time and energy was invested in 2005 in astrategic review for the organisation. Theoutcome is an exciting vision to 2010. Many ofour stakeholders, funders, participants, and othersfrom the sector were consulted during theprocess and an implementation plan has beendrawn up. The process is now firmly embeddedin the organisation, and we have a roadmap toguide us for the next five years.

During the year the Canadian Prime Minister, theRt. Hon. Paul Martin MP, paid a visit to the Centre where he met young people on theInternational Fund for Ireland funded programmeand engaged in a dialogue with them. We alsohad visits from Minister Dick Roche and MinisterDermot Ahern both of whom were very pleasedwith the work of the Centre.

In 2005 funding under the EU Peace II programmefor two major pieces of work, the Churchesprogramme and the Victim/Survivor andCombatants Programme came to an end. A Peace II extension was announced and I amdelighted that both these programmes madesuccessful new funding applications to developthe work until the end of 2007. This is a majorvote of confidence by our funders in the work.

We were also delighted to receive three-yearfunding for an Education Development Officerpost, from the International Fund for Ireland. Thiswill facilitate our wish to share our learning andexperience with other practitioners and with thegeneral public.

The organisation continues to be run by a team of professional staff and international volunteerswho help contribute to the experience ofdiversity for participants on the programmes.

A highlight of the year was the start of thedevelopment of the Armoury Coffee Shop by the Office of Public Works. This will provide theCentre with a new, large coffee shop and retailarea and will be finished by the end of the year.

While the major focus of our work will continue to be on these islands, our internationalinvolvement has developed significantly duringthe year. Our pilot partnerships with Trócaire and Concern have contributed to this expansionas has our relationship with members of thediplomatic community and the Department ofForeign Affairs.

New Equality, Child Protection and Health andSafety policies were developed in 2005.

I would like to pay tribute to our voluntaryCouncil and the members of our variouscommittees for their continued interest andexpertise and in particular to our President AlfieKane for his leadership on our Strategic Review. I would also like to pay tribute to the staff andvolunteers for their dedication andprofessionalism which is second to none.

2005 was a year of significant change for the Glencree Peace EducationProgramme, with the departure of HughDoyle, Programme Manager in Januaryand Claudia Bradshaw, ProgrammeWorker in December. Their work has laidthe foundations for the futuredevelopment of this programme in2006/2007 for which we thank them andwish them well in their future careers.They were replaced by Conn Mulvenna asProgramme Manager and Sorcha Tormeyas Programme Officer.

The Peace Education Programme hascontinued to enjoy the support of theInternational Fund for Ireland CommunityBridges Programme, Irish Aid(Development Cooperation Ireland),Léargas, The Ron Brown Scholarship andthe Ulster Bank, without whose support,guidance and co-operation we would beunable to deliver our programmes to thehigh standards currently applied.

We also greatly appreciate the support ofthe Department of Education andScience, the Curriculum DevelopmentUnit and the Curricular Support Servicesfor Transition Year, CSPE and ReligiousEducation for all their support andassistance in the development of ourprogramme in line with the educationcurriculum. This developmental work willenable us to significantly impact onmainstreaming the work of peaceeducation within education in Ireland.

The Peace Education Programme has alsoenjoyed the support of five internationalvolunteers who have contributed to thedevelopment of the team and the workconsiderably. We gratefully appreciatethe work of Annette Schneider (Australia),Caroline Wyrosdick (USA), PatrickSheehan-Gaumer (USA), Charles W Lewis(USA) and Jade Craig (USA).

Working with SchoolsGlencree continues to develop its workwith schools in 2005 on our 1-day, 2-dayand 3-day programmes exploring identity,diversity and conflict with pupils. Wecontinue to explore the strategicdevelopment of the programme in 2005,setting out staging posts for an excitingstrategic review with the support of thecurricular support services.

The ‘World’s Apart?’ resource pack hasbeen in demand throughout 2005 withthe need for a reprint emerging. Also indemand by schools is the ‘NorthernIreland - A Place Apart?’ pack which againrequires a reprint due to demand.

In order to develop a sustainableapproach to delivering the programme toschools, Glencree has established a 15-member Facilitator Panel. The panel willdeliver the programme to schools and beinvolved in the development of our future strategy.

Glencree has also reviewed and updatedour Child Protection Policy in collaborationwith the Health Services Executive in linewith ‘Children First’ guidelines.

The North South Schools Programmecontinues in its first year of developmentwith an exciting and energetic cluster of 7schools developing cross-border andcross-community activity in theMonaghan and Craigavon areas. Youngpeople from the project met with theCanadian Prime Minister, Paul Martin,when he visited the centre in June andexplored with him their views on North-South cooperation and citizenship.

Working with Young PeopleGlencree has also explored a new YouthStrategy in 2005, to ensure that our work with young people is sustainableand meeting the needs of the participants at their own local level. Tothis end we have begun to change ourfocus from a Glencree Youth Group to aseries of strategic partnerships whichinvolve young people from local youthservice organisations.

We have continued to participate as asending organisation in Youth for Europe exchanges, supported by Léargas,and have also continued to work inpartnership with Children for Peace,Warrington in the development of theYoung Citizens Project and the Tim Parry Scholarship.

The Peace Education Programme has alsodeveloped partner activity with theSoltun Peace School; The Peace Boat,Japan; Voluntary Service International;and the Experiment in International Living.

During 2004-2005 a total number of 1,755young people participated in our PeaceEducation Programme.

Given the real opportunities for moreeducation programmes at Glencree, therole of Education Development andTraining Officer was created in September2005. This role is now filled by EamonRafter and a start has been made to bringabout a Learning Centre which can offer arange of programmes to share thelearning of Glencree.

Courses for adults have been offered atGlencree over a number of years and thiscontinues. The intention now is todevelop a more structured approach toadult learning so that more people mayavail of these courses and apply the skillsof conflict transformation in their livesand work.

Learning CentreThe Glencree strategic review calls for theestablishment of a learning Centre atGlencree by 2010. It will take time torealise the Learning Centre concept andstructures appropriate to adult learningare being developed towards that end.The process of course development andfacilitator training will be a major elementin bringing this about. We are well placedto provide a good environment for adultsto learn about peacebuilding andreconciliation in a way that is nototherwise available locally.

It is important that quality and standardsare features of this learning and thatanyone who attends such a course willhave a challenging and rewardingexperience. We therefore aim to conformto best practice nationally so that thelearner is placed at the centre of theprocess and his/her time well spent. We are working now to create theappropriate structures to enablesystematic adult learning at Glencree tobe a reality. Courses can be offered on apilot basis initially and accreditation willbe an option in the near future.

Glencree aims to become a recognisedcentre for learning where accreditedcourses will be offered. The first step inthis process has been the approval byFETAC of the Centre. This will allow us toplan a course programme of good qualityand will extend the capacity of theorganisation to complement what wealready do well. There is clearly aprofessional interest in the subject matterof our courses and we will be able todeliver a high quality product.

Delivering Courses on Peacebuildingand ReconciliationThere have been a number of requeststhis year from organisations in the bordercounties for modules or courses onPeacebuilding and Reconciliation. This islikely to become more widespread andGlencree is well placed to meet this need. The recent programme with LouthLeader was an example of this. Glencreeworked in partnership to develop anddeliver a programme on practical tools for cross border community developmentpractitioners. The programme was wellreceived and important relationshipswere developed that could have animpact on cross border work in the future.Training a panel of facilitators to deliverthis type of programme is now a priorityso that more effective use is made of our resources.

Serve and Learn VolunteerProgrammeThe volunteers who spend time atGlencree, making such a vital contributionto the running of the Centre, also share inthe learning experience. Weekly sessionshave allowed time to focus on conflictrelated issues that arise locally andinternationally. Personal experience fromall over the world is brought to Glencreein this way and the contribution of eachindividual is considerable. Over theperiod of a year this learning can be more

systematic and substantial in terms ofskills and knowledge.

We hope to improve the volunteer Serveand Learn Programme by developing thelearning dimension considerably. Withmore time allocated for sessions andproject work the programme will beenhanced and be more rewarding forthose who participate. This will also allowvolunteers to feel more part of themission of Glencree with an increasedunderstanding of the core work. Thoughour resources may be limited to deliversuch a programme, with the rightstructure this will greatly enhance theprogramme and support best practice in volunteering.

Glencree Centre for Peace and Reconciliation Annual Review 20056

The Glencree political programme is nowin its 12th year and over that time hasdelivered hundreds of inclusive dialogueopportunities and meetings which haveinvolved representatives from almostevery political party in Ireland North andSouth as well as Britain. The programmehas developed from being an initiativewhich solely offers private inclusivedialogue opportunities to those in thepolitical arena to one which also offers avariety of training opportunities to thosealready engaged in political activity andto those who wish to do so. Indeed theannual Summer School is now anestablished part of the politicalprogramme and creates dialogueopportunities between those in thepolitical arena and those in civil society.

Dialogue•• The ground rules for those who

engage in the Glencree politicaldialogue programme are essentialingredients in ensuring that workshopsachieve their objectives of creatingnetworking/relationship buildingopportunities and exploring issues ofcommon concern. The workshopprogramme asks all participants toaccept that while they control theagenda, Glencree facilitators control the process. This ensures that theagenda remains relevant and canchange with the political environmentand also ensures that all participantsare given an equal opportunity to beheard. A Glencree version of ChathamHouse rules also applies to all dialogue workshops.

•• While the programme remainedinclusive in 2005 the opportunity wastaken to organise a number of bilateralas well as multilateral dialogues. Thisallowed Glencree to address somespecific political relationships andissues. The level of participation frompolitical parties increased in terms ofnumbers and seniority with a regularattendance of TDs and MLAs.

•• Glencree intends to intensify itspolitical dialogue work over the courseof the next year and will continue toaddress specific political relationshipsand issues within the context of aninclusive programme.

•• Glencree hosted a total of 3 dialogueworkshops in 2005. In most workshopsthere was also a valuable contributionmade by community and civil societyrepresentatives. Glencree is grateful tothe following parties for theirparticipation and their continuedefforts to build peace:

• Fianna Fáil• Fine Gael• Progressive Democrats• Labour Party• Green Party• Sinn Féin• Conservative Party• Ulster Unionist Party• Progressive Unionist Party • Social Democratic and Labour Party• Democratic Unionist Party• Ulster Political Research Group

Training•• Glencree was delighted to offer

community and political groupstraining in skills which they have foundappropriate as part of their politicaldevelopment. In 2005 Glencreeprovided 5 training workshops to awide range of political and communityorganisations including Coiste na n-Iarchimi, the Progressive Unionist Party,EPIC (the Loyalist Ex-Prisoners’Interpretive Centre), Teach na Failte,and the Ulster Political Research Group.

•• The training workshops are generally ofa three-day duration and are designedwith the individual groups. In 2005 thetraining focused on Negotiation, PublicRelations and Alternative DisputeResolution skills training.

•• The relevance of training offered togroups is the primary concern forGlencree and in order to ensure highquality, Glencree uses the services oftrainers from Canada and Israel as wellas Ireland North and South.

•• In 2006 Glencree intends to strengthenits political training programme byaddressing new constituencies andnew training needs and providing awider range of trainers.

Summer SchoolThe annual Glencree Summer School took place over the weekend of 26th -28th August 2005. The Summer Schoolwas entitled ‘Are we all minorities now’.The 80 participants from political, civilsociety organisations and diplomaticmissions mainly, had the opportunity todiscuss a wide range of issues bothformally and informally.

The keynote speaker was H.E. Mr. AlbertoYoacham, Chilean Ambassador to Ireland,and other speakers included Dr. LaurenceMcKeown (Coiste na n-Iarchimi), RevNorman Hamilton (Ardoyne, Belfast),Gareth Porter (HURT Group), Fr. AidanTroy, (Holy Cross Parish, Belfast), Ms. PattiSloan (Director, NI Human RightsCommission), Mr. Philip Watt (Director ofthe National Consultative Committee onRacism and Interculturalism) and Mr.Martin Collins of Pavee Point TravellersCentre. Mr. Frankie Gallagher from theUlster Political Research Group and Cllr.Philip McGuigan (Sinn Fein) alsostimulated a lively discussion in relationto reconciliation processes and managingdiversity locally.

This was the first time that a GlencreeSummer School endeavoured to addresssuch a wide range of issues related todiversity in Ireland North and South andwe are grateful for the participation ofspeakers and participants in thisinteractive process.

The 2006 Summer School takes place overthe weekend of 25th - 27th August. Thetheme will be Dimensions of Conflict andPeace, Opportunities and Challenges.

Glencree Centre for Peace and Reconciliation Annual Review 20058

The International Dimension of the workof Glencree came into existence in 2003through requests from otherorganisations, both governmental andnon-governmental, to provide supportwith peace building projects in conflictsituations internationally. At present theprogramme focuses on four internationalprojects where Glencree is in a position tomake a small contribution in peacebuilding terms.

The privilege of being invited to makecontributions internationally is based onour work in the domestic context.Lessons and skills learned through theIrish peace process is therefore often thefocus for work we undertake outsideIreland. Although not all Irish experiencesare relevant in other internationalcontexts, there are common elements toall peace processes and the specific skillslearned from the Irish Peace Process are of value to peace builders elsewhere.Engaging some of the key stakeholders in the Irish peace process in thisinternational work also serves tostrengthen our own peace process.

Glencree is grateful for the active supportof its many partners be they voluntary,governmental or diplomatic in itsinternational work. Local partners whohave a sound knowledge of their owncontext are essential enablers for thework of Glencree.

In 2006 an International AdvisoryCommittee under the Chairmanship ofPeter Keenan and comprising aninterdisciplinary team of experts will alsoinform the development of theinternational work of Glencree.

Sri LankaFollowing the Tsunami of 26th December2004, a Glencree representative travelledto the North and North-East region of SriLanka on a solidarity visit to ourcolleagues involved in civil societytraining being provided by Glencree.

The state of the Peace Process in Sri Lankaholds many uncertainties for the islandand the continuing violence in areas ofthe North and especially the Northeast ofthe island has directly impacted on theimplementation of our programme. Thishas, unfortunately, caused the continuedpostponement of our programme withcivil society players in the region.

The European Union position on Sri Lankaand other international developmentshave also served to slow down our workin Sri Lanka.

HaitiIn partnership with Concern Worldwide,with other local actors, KDSM and Jilap,Glencree is engaged in a three yearprogramme to reduce levels of violence ina particular slum area of Port au Princecalled St Martin. The 70,000 residentssuffer extreme deprivation and Concernhas been working to alleviate thispoverty. This new initiative reflects thelinkage between poverty and violentconflict and is providing capacity buildingopportunities for community activistsfrom St Martin as well as wider HaitianSociety to empower them to manageconflict without violence.

The initiative also continues to work onpoverty alleviation in a way thatintegrates with the peace buildingdimensions of the project. This may beconsidered a micro peace dividend for thecommunity. A local physical safe spacefor the gangs and other stakeholders inSt. Martin will be one of the practicaloutcomes of the project.

Middle EastIn 2005 with the active support of theIrish Department of Foreign Affairs,Glencree engaged senior Palestinian andIsraeli officials in a series of three dialogueworkshops in Ireland and in Tel Aviv.Aware of the role and influence of thequartet on the future of the regionGlencree also engaged senior actors fromUnited Nations, the United States ofAmerica, the European Union and Russiain the dialogues. Canadian participationrepresenting the interests of the broaderinternational donor community was alsomost welcome.

The workshops focussed on thewithdrawal from Gaza and morespecifically the security and sovereigntyissues associated with the withdrawal. A report of the outcomes of the dialoguewas agreed by the participants and fedinto all major stakeholders in the regionand to the international community.

The volatility and lack of political stabilityin the region makes long term planningdifficult and requires a high degree offlexibility from Glencree. Work in 2006 inthe region is likely to focus at least in parton the engagement of prisoners in peaceprocesses and a number of initiatives arealready in the pipeline.

Norwegian Co-operationOn the 22nd November 2005 a seminarwas jointly hosted by Glencree and theNorwegian Embassy. The 40 or soattendees represented the peace buildingand development sectors in Irelandmainly. Speakers from Norway includedMr. Jon Hanssen-Bauer, Senior Adviser,Section for Peace and Reconciliation,Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (inMarch 2006, Mr. Hanssen-Bauer wasappointed Special Envoy of theNorwegian government to the peaceprocess in Sri Lanka) and Mr. Stein ErikHorjen, Special Advisor for Peace andReconciliation, Norwegian Church Aid(from 1 March 2006 Mr. Horjen has takenup the position of Senior Advisor in theNorwegian Agency for DevelopmentCooperation (NORAD), a directorate underthe aegis of the Ministry of ForeignAffairs). The Irish speakers were MrEamonn McKee, Director for Emergencyand Recovery, Development Co-operationIreland (now Irish Aid) and Mr. TomArnold, CEO, Concern Worldwide.

The seminar dealt with the official Irishand Norwegian governmentalapproaches to the promotion of peace,the role of NGOs in peace building andconflict resolution. Opportunities werealso provided in parallel roundtabledialogues to investigate how the threerequirements of security, politicaldevelopment and economic developmentcan best be achieved by examiningNorway and Ireland’s experiences through various peace processes aroundthe world.

ColombiaIn partnership with Trócaire, Glencree has supported civil society groups at aregional level in Colombia to manage theconflict in their communities. Suchgroups are caught in the dynamics ofviolent conflict between local paramilitarygroups, FARC and the Government.

Geoffrey Corry delivered a keynoteaddress on the lessons learned in the Irishpeace process to the Third ReconciliationCongress of the Colombian CatholicEpiscopal Conference in Bogotá in May2005. He returned in September 2005 tohold a series of training workshops inthree different regions which we had notpreviously visited. This completes theintroductory phase of the capacitybuilding work held over the past 3 yearsand an assessment is now being held todetermine the next phase of the work.

Funding The Glencree International Programmesare funded by the Irish Department ofForeign Affairs, Trocaire, Concern, and theEuropean Union.

Glencree Churches Programme providesopportunities for debate within andbetween faith communities and otherbelievers. Theological and doctrinalissues may be part of the dialogueprocess, but this is a peace buildingendeavour that asks questions about theextent to which religion is responsible for the causes and resolution of theconflicts in Ireland/Northern Ireland.Thus the Glencree Churches Programmeis a civil society project aboutreconciliation, rather than a religiousproject about ecumenism.

The programme facilitates a process thataddresses issues that are surfaced byparticipants. In this way, people areoffered a ‘safe space’ within which theyare encouraged to meet the ‘other’, oftenfor the first time to ask questions - and toreally listen to the answers. This is astrategic initiative in that it workshorizontally through local and residentialworkshops in the community andvertically via consultations with churchleaders. Its primary area of operation isNorthern Ireland and the six bordercounties of Ireland.

SurvivorsSince its beginning in 1999 theprogramme has been constantly growingand evolving. In 2005 our programmenow has a clear and extensive structure.In addition to our existing programmesections of Survivors (LIVE - Let’s Involvethe Victims’ Experience) and formerCombatants, we have designed andadded a new section. This is a series ofworkshops that introduces our learning toother similar groups and goes under theheading of ‘Sharing Our Learning’. Inparticular we intend bringing this seriesto groups in the border areas. Theworkshops are designed to be flexibleand can be tailored to meet the needs ofthe participating groups. We have already been approached by severalinterested groups.

A further innovation to our programme isour Mentoring initiative which has beenco-designed by existing participants andprogramme staff. By this method we aimto introduce and support newparticipants to the programme in thecoming year.

In 2005 much of our work entailedreaching out to groups that were notrepresented on our programme. We hadsuccesses in this area some of whichwere: having a reception hosted for LIVEby the Lord Mayor of Craigavon;delivering seminars and talks to Unionistvictims groups; we were also invited togive a talk to the Meath Peace Group. InMay we delivered a workshop to TheInternational Conference on ForensicPsychotherapy at Dublin Castle and inOctober LIVE was represented at theannual conference of the Association forConflict Resolution (ACR) in Minnesotawhere we presented three workshops.This generated a great deal of interest inour work and culminated in our being

invited to serve on one of the subgroupsplanning next years ACR conference.

In the course of 2005 we were alsopleased to host a seminar on the Healingof Memories method of working withtrauma for our participants. This provedso successful that we intend to extend theseminar and offer a full weekendresidential in 2006.

It was in 2005 that we achieved one ofour original programme goals, that ofholding a joint convention of survivorsand former combatants. The theme ofthe Convention was ‘Reconciliation: AllTalk and no Action?’ It was designed toopen discussion on what each needed tohave in place in order to be able todialogue with the other. This was a longawaited event and although verydemanding on the participantsnevertheless achieved a depth ofdialogue that went beyond ourexpectations. We intend to take what wehave achieved at this year’s conventionand to further develop it at next year’sconvention in June.

Former CombatantsFocussed interventionsThe progress in the peace process hasenabled politically motivated ex-prisonersin particular to meet more freely in placeslike Belfast, thus diminishing the need forregular dialogue based workshopsbetween ex-combatants at Glencree.During 2005 this strand of theprogramme therefore focussed on thefollowing areas:

•• A series of bilateral engagementsbetween republican ex-prisoners andinfluential members of southern Irishsociety, which addressed some of themisunderstandings between southernnationalists and northern republicansand also focussed on the practicalneeds of politically motivated ex-prisoners south of the border;

•• A focussed bilateral engagementbetween senior retired UDR officers andrepresentatives of republican ex-prisoners;

•• Single identity capacity building workfor participants from UDR backgrounds,who are often underrepresented inpeace building activities.

These activities highlighted the ongoing need for “bringing the southernvoice” into the peace process, in particularthe strong need for ex-combatants tomeet with representatives of widersociety (business, churches, youth) fromthe South.

In December 2005 we learned that ourapplication for funding from the EU Peace II programme had been successful.This will give us the very welcomeopportunity to implement theprogramme structures outlined.

Sustainable PeaceCentral to the Survivors and FormerCombatants programme is a participantdriven ‘Sustainable Peace’ initiative whichduring 2005 brought togethervictims/survivors, ex-combatants, as wellas others from broader society into anongoing, dynamic network of peoplecommitted to leadership in sustainablepeace. Introduction into the networkinvolves an intense process of personalgrowth, experiential learning andinternational exposure - including sharedwilderness experiences in Scotland andSouth Africa. The emerging networkprovides support for individualparticipants in their own spheres ofinfluence, as well as opportunities fordiverse and formerly divided participantsto engage in joint activities, such as thedevelopment and delivery of educationalresources based on their life experiencesand journey together. Participants to thispart of the programme have beeninstrumental in helping to raise the fundsfor this initiative.

Sharing LearningDuring 2005 good progress was made inthe area of capturing and sharing oflearning. For example, on numerousoccasions the programme highlightedhow contested the language of “(ex)-combatant” and “victim” is. Thesediscussions helped Glencree to begin aprocess of documenting the trickydebates around “victims/survivors/casualties” and “combatants/perpetrators/soldiers/guerrillas/activists/terrorists”. Atentative “map” of the linguistic territoryof armed/violent conflict has been drawnup and combined with a frameworkcapturing some of the strengths andweaknesses of “inclusive” versus“differentiating” language. These ideashave been tested with different groupsand continue to be refined.

FundingThe Glencree Survivors and CombatantsProgramme is 100% funded by theEuropean Union’s Programme for Peaceand Reconciliation through Border Action (Peace II).

We were very fortunate to have threerooms in Glencree decorated to a veryhigh standard with the help of our friendsin the Diplomatic community during2005. The Swiss Embassy sponsored aroom during 2005. Three Swiss artstudents worked on the bedroom for overa week and transformed it from apleasant place to sleep to a “little piece ofSwitzerland” with homemade beds, greatdécor and sound effects which give theimpression that you are staying in anAlpine chalet rather than a Wicklowbedroom! The room was formally openedby His Excellency. Mr Josef Doswald, SwissAmbassador to Ireland.

The Glencree Centre Activity in 2005 Edel Kinsella2005 was the busiest year in the history of Glencree. Room occupancy rose by 6% to 54% which translates

to just over 10,000 people using the centre for overnight accommodation. During the year 33,000 meals

were served. Numbers rose both for visiting groups and participants on Glencree Programmes.
