Susan Phelen, Local Coordinator in Tipperary, poses for a picture with her students at their last gathering in January 2010 . She introduced Mederic Thomas of France who arrived just a few weeks before (pictured on her right) to other students who have been in the community since August. This informal social gathering gave students an opportunity to meet and catch up since their last group outing back in the Autumn.

On Saturday the 10th of October 2009 The Tipperary EIL group had their First of many to come Group Outings. The day was bright and fresh as the International bus departed for Cobh to visit and explore the Cobh heritage centre. All aboard the Bus were in high spirits and excited to be together in a group as many of the students had not met since the official orientation. On arrival to the Heritage centre all students were full of anticipation and curiosity. Here all had the opportunity to explore and absorb some very interesting facts and parts of Irish History.
