Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement
Women and Constitutional Change: Discussion (Resumed)
9:30 am
Ms Ailbhe Smyth:
That is a very good model. So too is the Women's Collective Ireland involving the women's community groups in the North. That is another very good model. There are several models that can also be replicated for other groups. For example, I am very aware that we need to build in a lot more ethnic diversity into the kinds of education programmes that exist but that cannot really happen without some structural funding that enables that community development work to be done. At the bottom, we are talking about what happens at community level so we are talking about local government structures.
