Social Justice Ireland
Social Justice Ireland has been advocating in respect of social enterprises for some time and welcome progression of a specific policy to support them. However, this policy must be underpinned by the principles and values of the Community and Voluntary sector in which social enterprises for the most part are situated if their mission and ethos are to be preserved. We would urge social enterprises, and organisations who support them, to look at the context in which this policy is situated and to respond to the call for submissions on this basis.
