Chef Richard Corrigan opens Culinary school at Lismullin 

Picture
Chef Richard Corrigan officially launched Lismullin School of Culinary and Home Arts. The new facility with demonstration unit will have classes for up to 24 people.

The school will have a wide range of courses for all types of individuals. It will create a culinary tourism hub that will cater primarily for the local community but also attract business to Meath at a national level.

Speaking at the opening Richard Corrigan said "this is a great facility for the local community, it will give the opportunity for everyone to learn the basic or more advanced cookery skills to understanding how to run a home, and most of all learning to enjoy it”.

Speaking at the opening Marie Flynn, Manager of Lismullin Hospitality Services Centre, said the school through its courses aimed to reach everyone – those who have no home skills to those who want to excel more. "We will also support local businesses and food producers through this venture”.
 
"The school will have courses designed for individuals looking to improve their skills at home. Courses will include healthy eating and promoting a healthy lifestyle and cooking on a budget. All courses will foster a greater understanding of the work involved in culinary and home arts. After all when we reflect on our homes and why they are so important it is clear that the home is where the foundation of health and happiness are laid."

Michael Ludlow CEO of the Meath Partnership who co-financed the new facilities said " Meath Partnership views the development at Lismullin as a key component in the growth and enhancement of Co Meath’s Culinary Tourism offering. This experience and what Lismullin offers opens up to the visitor the opportunity to work with locally sourced food ingredients and also introduces wider aspects of local, culture and heritage.

In economic terms Lismullin has the capacity to increase annual customer spend by €130,000 per annum over existing levels within its own business while visitor spend in the local economy will increase by up to €200,000 per annum.  Visitor spend of €330,000 per annum in a local context is very significant and is just one of the reasons why Meath Partnership sought Ministerial approval of a grant of €200,000 to assist in completing the project.  On current projections for visitor spend this grant will have been recovered to public funds in just over three years.  In terms of value for money this investment opportunity simply cannot be equalled elsewhere" he concluded.

The official opening took place at the Lismullin Hospitality Services Centre last Monday 9th of June. The programme of courses will begin in September.
