Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection

Social Enterprise in Ireland: Discussion

2:00 pm

Mr. Richard Keane:

With respect, we did have an agency called the Combat Poverty Agency. Moreover, we had an equality infrastructure but it has been dismantled in recent years. While we have a very narrow focus, it is not that our work is not complementary to that of Social Justice Ireland or other actors in society.
