4.8 Cross-Border Integration<br />
The Borderwise Project is a cross-border information and<br />
advice project developed in partnership between Comhairle<br />
and <strong>Citizens</strong> Advice in Northern Ireland. It is being funded<br />
by the Community Foundation for Northern Ireland for a<br />
two-year period under the Peace 2 funding programme.<br />
The project provides support to CICs and Citizen Advice<br />
Bureaux (CABx) in border counties in dealing with queries<br />
of a cross-border nature and in responding to the<br />
information and advice needs of people adversely affected<br />
by the ‘Troubles’.<br />
During <strong>2004</strong>, a part-time Project Manager was appointed<br />
on secondment from Comhairle to <strong>Citizens</strong> Advice Belfast.<br />
The three Advice and <strong>Information</strong> Workers who were<br />
appointed in 2003 each successfully completed Comhairle’s<br />
FETAC-accredited <strong>Information</strong> Providers Training<br />
Programme in <strong>2004</strong>. In turn, two of the Borderwise<br />
workers delivered their training sessions to CIC personnel in<br />
Carrickmacross and Donegal Town on the topic of ‘Frontier<br />
Workers’– i.e. those living on one side of the border and<br />
working on the other side.<br />
4.8 Comhtháthú Trasteorann<br />
Tionscadal trasteorann eolais agus comhairle is ea<br />
Borderwise, a chuir Comhairle chun cinn i<br />
gcomhpháirtíocht le <strong>Citizens</strong> Advice i dTuaisceart Éireann.<br />
Tá sé á mhaoiniú ag an eagraíocht Community Foundation<br />
for Northern Ireland ar feadh tréimhse dhá bhliain faoin<br />
gclár maoinithe Peace 2. Tacaíonn an tionscadal le hIonaid<br />
Eolais do Shaoránaigh agus leis an mBiuró le haghaidh<br />
Comhairle do Shaoránaigh (Citizen Advice Bureaux) sna<br />
contaetha teorann agus iad ag plé le ceisteanna<br />
trasteorann agus ag freagairt do riachtanais eolais agus<br />
comhairle daoine a ndeachaigh na ‘Trioblóidí’ i gcion<br />
go dona orthu.<br />
Ceapadh Bainisteoir Tionscadail pháirtaimseartha ar iasacht<br />
ó Chomhairle ar <strong>Citizens</strong> Advice i mBéal Feirste i rith na<br />
bliana <strong>2004</strong>. D’éirigh leis na triúr Oibrithe Eolais agus<br />
Comhairle a ceapadh i 2003 an Clár Oiliúna do<br />
Sholáthraithe Eolais de chuid Chomhairle atá creidiúnaithe<br />
ag Comhairle na nDámhachtainí Breisoideachais agus<br />
Oiliúna a chríochnú. Ina dhiaidh sin thug beirt oibrithe<br />
Borderwise cúrsaí oiliúna do phearsanra Ionaid Eolais do<br />
Shaoránaigh i gCarraig Mhachaire Rois agus i mbaile Dhún<br />
na nGall ar an ábhar ‘Oibrithe Teorann’ – is é sin le rá ar<br />
oibrithe a chonaíonn ar thaobh amháin den teorainn ach a<br />
oibríonn ar an taobh eile.<br />
