What happens at a repair cafe?

At the Repair Café, you can learn how to repair the item yourself, or watch and learn from the fantastic volunteers while enjoying a tea or coffee. TOG members will also be on hand to give you a tour while you wait

Why join a repair cafe?

Repair Cafés are a great way to support a circular economy, reduce waste, and extend the life of your belongings.

Drop in to our regular Open Social for a great alternative Saturday evening. It's a great informal way to see the space and meet members and visitors.

If you’ve never been in before, we’ll give you the grand tour of the space. Talk to members and visitors about projects or things that you’d like to do. If you like what you see, ask about joining as a full member. Membership brings many benefits. Weather and volunteer permitting, we might have our wood fired pizza oven going outside!

Expect caint, ceol agus craic as usual. The space stays open until the last member is left……usually the small hours of Sunday morning. You can drop in for 10 minutes, or stay the whole night. We have lots of free parking available. Bring beer, food, gadgets!

Join Us for A Celebration of Cybersecurity in Cork: From Past to Future!

Set in the heart of Cork, this event celebrates the region’s remarkable journey as a global hub for cybersecurity - while looking ahead to the next chapter of innovation, talent, and growth.

Over the past three decades, Cork has quietly established itself as a powerhouse in the cybersecurity landscape, home to a thriving ecosystem of industry leaders, educators, and emerging talent. This event brings that story to life - tracing the evolution of the sector from its early foundations to the dynamic, globally connected industry it is today.

Opening with a keynote from Maggie Cusack, President of Munster Technological University, the programme sets the stage for a day of reflection and forward-thinking dialogue.

As the day unfolds, the focus shifts from past to future, through expert-led panels and industry contributions. The first panel discussion will reflect on the journey of cybersecurity - examining how far the field has come and the milestones that have shaped it. The conversation then turns to what lies ahead, with a second panel discussion focused on the future of cybersecurity, and crucially, how to build and sustain a robust cybersecurity talent pipeline. With demand for skilled professionals continuing to grow, the event places a strong emphasis on education, collaboration, and initiatives that bridge the gap between academia and industry.

A key highlight includes NetApp’s commitment to the EU AI Pact, pledging to implement ethical and responsible AI practices in line with the upcoming EU AI Act. This moment reinforces Cork’s role not only as a national leader, but as a contributor to broader EU ambitions in trustworthy and responsible AI development.

The story of Cork’s cybersecurity success is further brought to life through a dedicated film showcase, capturing the growth of local companies and their contributions to both industry and education.

The event concludes with interactive sessions designed to engage and inspire from live cyber-attack demonstrations to hands-on workshops- giving attendees a practical glimpse into the skills and thinking required for the future.

More than just a gathering, this is a celebration of Cork’s legacy in cybersecurity and a call to action to shape what comes next.
