Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 February 2013
569. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if he has met voluntary and community organisations recently; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [54228/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department has a broad remit in relation to the Community and Voluntary Sector and therefore regular meetings are held with a variety of voluntary and community organisations and their representative bodies, for example in relation to housing policy, the environment, or local and community development issues.
I have had meetings in recent weeks with Social Justice Ireland and the Irish Local Development Network at which a broad range of relevant issues were discussed.
