Joe O'Brien (Dublin Fingal, Green Party) | Oireachtas source

I will not go through the various lists and forums through which I engage with the sector. As I said, I spend a lot of time doing it. On what the Deputy is talking about and the wider challenges society is facing, the civic forum we are planning for later this year is possibly the best outlet to tease out the major issues and to get a good representation of civil society around the table. That might then feed further into social dialogue, which is also something we want to progress. I take the Deputy's points. I have been contacted only today by Community Platform with a view to meeting and I will be glad to do so.
