Paul O’Raw, Dr Hhrisi Balall and Dr Brendan O’Keeffe: Asdee Community Planning

Paul O’Raw And Associates

A team approach is used when working with communities in the preparation of strategic plans. This brings a wider range of skills, expertise and analysis to support the community in developing and clarifying its ideas.

Paul has collaborated with Dr Brendan O’Keeffe and Dr Hrishi Balall when working with Cromane and Asdee Communities in Kerry. Brendan is an independent Social Geographer and Analyst, and Hrishi develops interactive software enabling communities to map out their plans. 

In Ballyhoura Paul collaborated with Niall Heenan, facilitator and trainer, and Dr Shane O’Sullivan, social analyst and lecturer in Limerick Institute of Technology, in the preparation of plans with twelve communities in the East Limerick, North Cork area. 

Paul and Dr Shane O’Sullivan collaborated with the communities of Askeaton and Patrickswell, Co Limerick in preparation of community plans.

What Clients Are Saying

"At times this was a difficult project and required perseverance and going the extra mile, and Paul always put the shoulder to the wheel to see the plan the through. The plan is now completed and published in the community, and now forms the foundations of a new Community Forum formed in conjunction with semi-states bodies to address local issues.

I would highly recommend Paul O Raw to you as person who has experience and the talents to take similar projects from inception to completion."
