This full-day conference will take place on Thursday 27 November from 9.00am until 4.30pm, in the F2 Centre, 3 Reuben Plaza, Rialto, Dublin 8. A keynote address will be provided by Michael McGrath, Irish Commissioner responsible for democracy, justice, the rule of law and consumer protection in the European Commission.
Join us for a series of panel discussions and a keynote contribution on the current civil society landscape in Ireland and abroad, including the threats and barriers to the sector, the opportunities for more effective participation, the role civil society plays in upholding democracy, what the future looks like for the Irish community, voluntary and non-profit sector and its relationship with the political system.
We will also discuss the role of the Irish government and state bodies in protecting democratic norms both online and offline, in the context of Ireland’s dual position as a global champion of civil society and a hub for Big Tech.
By bringing together Oireachtas members, civil society colleagues, as well as regulators and policymakers, we hope to foster an open dialogue which will enhance understanding of the Irish civil society and democratic environment, and particularly current systemic issues and how these fit into broader international trends.
