On Wednesday 21st May the Amendment to the Equality Legislation was discussed in the Seanad. This included the addition of socio- economic status as ground of discrimination. Unfortunately Seanad members voted to suspend the amendment for another 12 months. It was not the result we wanted but hope not lost.
ATD Ireland were invited to view the Seanad debate, along with other members of the #Addthe10th alliance.
Thank you to Senator Chris Andrews for inviting us to view the debate and vote. Thank you to ATD Ireland Community Activists and the #addthe10th alliance for their continued, tireless work on the campaign to end socio- economic discrimination.
