Over 70 stakeholders from across a range of community groups & organisations, state agencies, the charity sector and local representatives from Wicklow County Council, the Bray Area Partnership and Wicklow PPN joined in the dialogue event.
Following a research presentation by Professor Frances McGinnity of ESRI, key issues that were discussed included integration strategies and social inclusion in local communities, anti-racism and anti-discrimination, labour market equality, second generation voice, leadership and role models.
