Mx. Daire Dempsey:

Echoing what everybody has been saying, there are many really useful points. One of the issues mentioned was funding for organisations within the community sector. A matter which is relevant here is violence prevention, particularly among young men and boys, and how masculinity functions in many ways in society, and how we can strengthen that through this agency and process. For us as TENI, we have a big concern with how transphobia functions in Irish society and how it is used against trans people in partnerships and in relationships within the home. That prevention piece with regard to how we or the agency will hopefully be able to work with community organisations is crucial.
