🧵

My remarks to the @OECD Rural Development Conference in Cavan today focused on the importance ensuring that communities themselves are at the heart of processes to design solutions to the challenges they face Every town, village & island is different & the people who live in them are best placed to determine & effect change in their communities. Challenge for us as policymakers is to ensure those voices are given space so policies are formed & directed from ground up

Looking forward to giving the keynote address at this morning’s launch of the @SeeChangeIRL 9th annual #GreenRibbonIRL #EndTheStigma campaign.

The theme of this year’s campaign is Exclusion - a topic very close to my heart as minister with responsibility for social inclusion. With every campaign & with every #GreenribbonIRL worn publicly there are increased chances to #EndTheStigma of mental illness & start conversations. With this campaign there is more opportunity than ever to really turn around how we think and talk about mental illness.

I’ll be joining my colleague @rodericogorman to speak in the Dáil shortly on Direct Provision and the welcome changes set out recently in the White Paper on Ending Direct Provision.

Statements start at 10am With White Paper we published in Feb, our intention is to create a new system of support for International Protection applicants that’s fundamentally different from current model. A system that meets needs of applicants & enables them to contribute positively to Irish life.

I’m looking forward to addressing today’s conference & virtually meeting some of the fantastic volunteers & volunteer managers working across Ireland.

This past year has really thrown a light on the importance of volunteers & associated supports for volunteer efforts. Conferences like today’s @voluntireland one help us recognise and remember so much of what is positive about volunteering. They give us an opportunity to reflect and to acknowledge the enormous contribution of volunteering to Irish society.

I’ll be giving the closing address to the #SIFF2021 shortly after a week of really great engagement and discussion on issues of poverty & social inclusion I opened this forum on Monday by noting that we had come together to talk about our collective experiences of either working with people experiencing poverty and exclusion or to share personal experiences of living directly with poverty & exclusion.
