Tullamore Credit Union and St Brigid's Credit Union will hold their first ever joint roadshow, which is aimed at promoting 'green' initiatives, later this month.

The Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) Roadshow, which will take in Tuar Ard Moate on Monday, September 29, and at Esker Arts Tullamore on Wednesday, October 1, and is aimed at educating and engaging with members, communities and businesses on the importance of ESG and ‘green’ practices and their impact.
