Learning Matters!

Following the momentum of our ‘Demand Your Right to Learn’ Campaign, we look forward to working closely with Sean Haughey TD, newly appointed Minister for Lifelong Learning, to deliver more and better services and supports to the 300,000 plus adult learners throughout Ireland.

On the last day of the Festival, we looked back on the Campaign one year on with the Minister and the recently appointed spokespersons from the various parties during our closing event at the National Library of Ireland.

This panel discussion was chaired by Rachel English of RTE, and will shortly be available on a podcast. Click here for more information.
