People in disadvantaged communities are being asked to make suggestions on how community development can best tackle exclusion, poverty and disadvantage.

The public consultation process, which was launched by Minister of State Pat Carey TD, will take place under the National Development Plan, which envisages the continuation of support for the Community Development Programme. The Programme provides multi-annual funding to approximately 180 designated community development projects and organisations focussing on communities experiencing social and economic disadvantage.

Announcing the process, Minister Carey commented that the Programme has been of significant benefit to many disadvantaged people over a long number of years.

"The rising tide has not necessarily lifted all boats," said Minister Carey, "and it is my desire to provide communities with continued support which is focused on making a real difference. I would welcome the views of the public and other groups and organisations on how we might continue to improve delivery of such services."
