QUESTION NO. 7

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

To ask the Chief Executive to make a statement in respect of the Council's Migration Integration Strategies and will he give full details of actions he is taking in respect of the matter.

REPLY:

South Dublin County Council is currently working on a new Integration Strategy. The majority of the actions identified in the previous strategy have been met.

The Council are developing the new strategy in conjunction with South Dublin County Partnership. Several meetings have been held with various Council departments to examine how the Councils current services may positively impact on the integration of migrants into the County and further consultations with other relevant stakeholders are underway. 

The following four thematic areas have been identified for the strategy:

• Inclusive communities
• Lifelong learning
• Enterprise and employment
• Health and wellbeing

The next stage of the development of the strategy is a consultation process with migrant groups which is due to take place towards the end of May.
