Mr. Michael Ring, T.D., Minister for Rural and Community Development, has announced a research partnership between his Department and the Social Finance Foundation with a view to producing research outputs which will support the development of an Irish social enterprise policy and implementation roadmap in early 2018.

As part of this research we are looking for social enterprises and those with an interest in the sector to contribute ideas and issues.  Your views can be submitted through an online consultation which can be found at: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/IrelandSEP

This consultation is open until Friday December 15^th at 5pm.

We would also kindly request that where possible you promote the availability of this opportunity to register views.  Please share on social media and with your networks where possible.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to contribute to the future state of social enterprise in Ireland.
