Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

Women and Constitutional Change: Discussion (Resumed)

9:30 am

Ms Orla O'Connor:

What I would add is that we are in a new phase of designing a new action plan. There is a real opportunity with regard to where the new action plan might go. We have experience with lots of action plans on different issues. There is an opportunity with respect to the development of the new one in terms of what we have just spoken about, and making sure that marginalised women are a part of it. There is an opportunity to bring this out into communities that maybe we have not taken in the past. That could really help in these discussions we are having on the wider issues across the island. As far as I know, the Department responsible for it is going to be doing those consultations at the start of next year.
