It will identify and build on the positive experiences of living in Carrigtwohill and the benefits of diversity for the community as a whole. It will build on issues and needs raised within previous consultations and through existing structures and supports. It will identify ‘ambassadors’, structures, and platforms to promote consultation on individuals’ and families’ economic, social and cultural needs and the barriers to integration.
