I detest the term "social inclusion". I would have thought that the purpose of this session relates to groups with special housing needs because this is the housing committee.
Traveller specific accommodation, for example, is an area of special housing need. Pavee Point, or one of the other Traveller groups, should come in. I agree the Migrant Rights Centre Ireland, for example, or some other migrant group should come in on the issue of refugees and direct provision. I would prefer if the Tyrrelstown residents were not put in that category, as I think theirs is more of a financial issue. Those groups are the key ones.
