Workshop Summary Report from Event at the Carrickdale Hotel on 28 June 2023. Dublin: Technological University Dublin.

Abstract

This report documents the discussions of participants during a workshop at the Carrickdale Hotel, County Louth, that was held on June 28th 2023. The purpose of the workshop was to introduce the BORDEX project, learn about safety and security in local communities, and to learn about the organisations involved in producing and maintaining security, often in an informal way. In addition, the purpose of the event was to develop new connections and provide networking opportunities.

The BORDEX team provided an overview of the project and there were a number of break-out sessions to discuss particular topics. The first session addressed defining the geographic area that would be covered by the research on the eastern side of the Island, with feedback from participants focusing on the main concerns and safety practices in the region. The second session concerned the conceptualisation of a ‘security field’, and participants were able to discuss the key organisations and actors within the area, as well as the relationships between community-based groups and statutory organisations. This report summarises the issues addressed and the feedback of the participants.
