Planting event in Pairc Goodman,Skibbereen
Thanks, Skibbereen!
Thanks to everyone who joined us for the planting event — it was great to see so many people getting involved. Lots of plants went into the ground, and we’re looking forward to seeing them thrive in the weeks ahead.
It was also great to see the kids enjoying themselves with games like the egg and spoon race, sack races, and swing ball. And an ice-cream van visit to top it off- A fun day all around!
TORC Appreciate everyone who took part and helped make it happen.
A HUGE thank you to all the residents of Clairin for showing up in such great numbers for our bike event… It was great to see so many of you bring your bikes along and leave with them in top shape.
A special thanks goes to An Rothar for their dedication and hard work in repairing every bike that came their way. The sunny weather made the day even more enjoyable, and the atmosphere was brought to life with an ice cream van, face painting, and the incredible talents of Bernardo the Magician
We had an amazing time and can’t wait to return for future events

TORC Annual Unit inspections 2025
Each year, TORC carries out an annual inspection on each of our 465 properties to ensure that we provide safe, efficient, durable, comfortable and sustainable homes for our tenants. The 2025 house inspections begin next month in April and all schemes will be completed by October. Some important information to remember:
TORC will give a minimum of 2 weeks’ notice by letter to let you know the date and time-frame of your inspection.
If you are not going to be home or need a specific time for an appointment, please let us know in advance of your inspection.
HSCOs understand your home is where you live, we do not expect to walk into showrooms.
During the inspection a members of TORC staff may take pictures – these are used as a visual record of the condition of the property over the lifecycle of your home. They are also used to assist with logging any repairs.
Where a person is under 18 and is at home alone, we cannot complete an inspection without your previous permission/consent.
