Sustainable Projects Ireland

Sustainable Projects Ireland Ltd. (SPIL) is in the process of creating an ecovillage in Cloughjordan.

Incorporated in 1999, the company is a registered Educational Charity run along co-operative principles. The company provides its members with fully serviced sites which have either outline planning permission, or full planning permission for certain buildings. All buildings are built by members in line with the overall Master Plan design, and with our Ecological Charter specifications.

As a community we aim to share out the rights and responsibilities of making this project work successfully. Our evolving decision-making processes are founded on the Consensus Model, with practical structures in place to ensure that we achieve our aims.

Below are links that can tell you more about how we are organised:
