The Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth is opening public consultations to inform the development of the next National LGBTI+ Inclusion Strategy. The new plan will serve as a follow-up to the one that covered 2019 to 2021, and aims to improve the quality of life and wellbeing of queer people, enabling them to participate fully in Ireland’s social, economic, cultural and political life. In order to develop the strategy, the Department is seeking the views and inputs of local LGBTQ+ groups and individuals. There will be in-person regional consultation workshops hosted across the country, facilitated by key experts Dr Gráinne Healy and Dr Kathy Walsh, in partnership with LGBT Ireland. While any LGBTQ+ person is welcome to attend, registration is essential.
