Get Involved in Local Politics - Diversity in Local Government
Highlighting the critical role diversity and inclusion have to play in local government, Cork County Council are calling on women, people of all backgrounds and minority groups throughout the County to consider stepping into the ring to encourage, support and facilitate greater representation in local politics, further reflecting the diversity that exists in our society.
Mayor of the County of Cork, Cllr. Mary Linehan Foley is encouraging those with an interest to consider taking the next step in 2021 “I want this campaign to inspire people to take a step towards local politics. Each of us has the power to influence change – we need to hear the voices of those that are under- represented to ensure equality, diversity and inclusion. The best time to do this was 20 years ago, the next best time is now!”
There are many ways to get involved, make the change and be the difference.
