Finian McGrath (Dublin North Central, Independent)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the urgent need to support the poorest and most disadvantaged communities and groups in Ireland; to call on the Government to support Voices that Matter, a grouping of national organisations that represent, empower and respond to the needs of groups experiencing poverty, exclusion and inequality; and finally to call on the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs to ensure any future funding programme prioritises a focus on combating poverty and inequality.
