QUESTION NO.1

QUESTION: Councillor F. Timmons

To ask the chief executive would he consider promoting a rainbow charter for Buisnesses throughout SDCC that promotes LGBTQ friendly and safe buinesses and services and to ask would he meet with the Clondalkin Rainbow alliance to look at how this could be done?

REPLY:

South Dublin County Council is committed to meeting its responsibilities under the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission Act 2014, particularly Section 42 (Public Sector Human Rights and Equality Duty). The LGBTI+ Inclusion Strategy 2019 – 2021 was considered in the assessment of equality and human rights issues as part of the development of the SDCC Equality and Human Rights Framework. The Framework was published recently, and it is available through www.sdcc.ie

An exploratory meeting between SDCC and the Clondalkin Rainbow Alliance will be held to explore a potential initiative.
