BERNIE
HEALY
Editor's desk
Hello and Welcome to the April/
May issue of EM.
2014 marks the 40th Anniversary
of the opening of our pumped
storage station at Turlough Hill in
Co. Wicklow. Over the years the
station has played host to many
school and community tours but
unfortunately this was no longer
possible in recent years when
resources could not accommodate
the large amount of work and man/
woman power required for events
such as these. However, to celebrate
the event the station plans to open
for tours over the summer months
and from May to September
inclusive we hope to bring you
details of days when the station will
be open to visitors. This has always
been a popular location given the
scenic area in which the station is
located close to Glendalough in
the Wicklow Mountains and the
cavern particularly has been found
to be highly impressive with young
visitors. So watch out for more
information coming your way and
pass on the word in your area.
Watch out also for details of the
Sligo Walk in May as the bright
evenings now give us all more
opportunities to step out and up
the training schedule.
Kind regards

ESB HELD A NUMBER of events
to mark International Women's Day
in the week following. On Monday,
March 10th, over 50 people attended
a lunchtime event hosted by
Equality & Diversity in Head Office
entitled Inspiring Change through
Innovation and Leadership.
Guest speaker at the event was
Cathy Winston, Business Growth
Advisor. Cathy's focus was on leading
and leadership, exploring the reality
that diversity promotes innovation
in an organisation - diverse thinking,
backgrounds, experiences, skill sets,
gender, age etc.
Sarah
Claxton,
Employee
Engagement, Communications and
Diversity Lead opened the event
and explained that initiatives such
as this play an important role in
helping to raise the awareness and
understanding of our unconscious
biases and how they may negatively
impact on diverse thinking and
practices in an organisation. This
event is part of a programme of
lunch and learns seminars scheduled
for 2014 that focus on diversity and
inclusion related topics. Pat Doherty,
Chief Executive closed the event .
Also supporting the event
were Brid Horan, Deputy Chief
Executive, Pat Naughton, Director
Group People and Sustainability
Manager, Paddy Hayes, Executive
Director, Generation & Wholesale
