Galway County Integration & Diversity Strategy 2013 – 2017

In 2009, Galway County Council, through its Social Inclusion Unit, secured funding from the Office of the Minister for Integration (OPMI) to help address these significant demographic changes and to build upon local responses and integration initiatives that were already underway to help create a more integrated society. With this support, Galway Rural Development Company helped established a broad-ranging Interagency Strategy Group, which has overseen the development of this integration Strategy. As integration is a two way process, the Strategy is for everyone living and/or working in County Galway with a particular focus on integrating minority ethnic communities.
