Local Heroes is an RTÉ-wide campaign supported by Sigmar Recruitment to support Irish jobs, beginning Wednesday 9th November. The six-part television programme, Local Heroes - A Town Fights Back, will follow the people of one town as they come together to take their economic future into their own hands and start the fight-back for jobs.
Drogheda, Co Louth has felt the full effects of the downturn with nearly one third of the town's population unemployed. Now its citizens have decided they've had enough.
Local Heroes - A Town Fights Back will follow the people of Drogheda as they work alongside Senator Feargal Quinn and an assembled team of experts including Sigmar Director Robert MacGiolla Phadraig (pictured below) to try to kick-start their local economy.
While the focus will be on a number of traditional areas like entrepreneurship, tourism and business, Feargal Quinn will also encourage the people of Drogheda to come up with more creative responses to tackle this major challenge.

It all started with a Town Hall meeting in Drogheda on 7th September where a broad cross-section of local people, from business to arts to community groups, assembled to discuss the situation, with Pat Kenny facilitating that discussion.
The people of Drogheda will now be invited to attend an Ideas Summit where they will be set a target of coming up with 20 big ideas that the whole community can implement over the next three months. These ideas will involve tackling jobs creation in a direct all-community way as well as removing local obstacles to employment.
Updates and further information will be on the Sigmar and RTE websites and facebook pages.
