GENERAL ELECTION 2024

GE Banner - Decorative

The upcoming General Election is an opportunity for politicians and political parties to set out their priorities for the future of Ireland. We are calling on candidates to put community first, to support inclusion and cohesion, and to prioritise social investment and infrastructure. The next Programme for Government needs to lay the groundwork for a plan that supports society, the environment, and the economy.  

It is essential for the incoming government to recognise and champion the indispensable role of the community and voluntary sector in Ireland.
