Meet the Party Leader series

We bring our members into contact with the politicians who set our national policy agenda, and in 2018 we have initiated our Meet the Party Leader series of dialogues.

The leaders of the political parties are very important figures when it comes to shaping political party manifestos and policies, so it’s important for sector-advocates to engage with them and set out the sector’s priorities.

Labour Party leader Brendan Howlin engaged in dialogue with members in June, this was followed by another dialogue with Mary Lou McDonald, TD and leader of Sinn Féin in September and we have a planned engagement with Micheál Martin, TD, Leader of Fianna Fáil in December (see below).

Watch this space for further details about other party-leader meetings with members.
