In September 2023, GCCN welcomed the opportunity to make a submission on the Seanad Public Consultation on the Future of Local Democracy.
GCCN is particularly concerned with the promotion of meaningful and effective participation of communities in the decision-making processes that affect their lives. GCCN is deeply committed to the principles of participation, representation, and consultation as we believe that:
- It is the right of people to participate in decisions and policies that affect them and their communities.
- The participation of people and communities’ benefit and improve decision-making and policy development.
