Communications & Media, Sligo County Council

The Communications Office provides a range of information services which can be accessed through this website

CONTACT MAGAZINE

Sligo Local Authorities publish a quarterly magazine for the general public, ‘Contact’, which provides news and information from Sligo Borough Council and Sligo County Council. The magazine is available from a network of outlets throughout the county. An on-line version of the magazine is available on www.sligococo.ie, and an ‘audio file’ of the magazine is also produced.

e-CONTACT

To supplement the quarterly magazine, the Communications Office also publishes a monthly e-newsletter. e-Contact is circulated to individuals and groups who register their interest on-line. A ‘hard copy’ of the e-newsletter is also available to those without access to a computer.

PODCAST

An increasing number of people access news and entertainment on-line, and the podcast enables us to deliver important public service information to a listening audience. In December 2007 Sligo Local Authorities launched a podcast facility to allow people access a broadcast of news and information on-line. New recordings are posted on our websites on a monthly basis.

Brian Crummy, Chairman of Sligo branch of People with Disabilities Ireland (PWDI) sees the podcast ‘as a very welcome initiative which will be a valuable resource for people with disabilities who wish to access information in this medium. Sligo Local Authorities already produce an audio-file CD of their quarterly magazine and other important publications, and the podcast is an excellent addition to their range of information services in the area of assistive technology.’
