Local government for a 21st century Ireland
As part of its continuing work on democracy and governance in Ireland, TASC is working to influence forthcoming legislation to reform local government in Ireland.
TASC is an independent Irish think-tank committed to progressive social change. Through its research projects, TASC actively seeks out evidence-based ideas and policy solutions which are designed to empower individuals and organisations to work towards the vision of a just and equal society. Reflecting an active research ethos, TASC’s approach looks to creating the physical space and policy space to make progressive social change in Ireland possible. TASC has entered a partnership with New Island press which publishes TASC’s books and pamphlets under the TASC @ New Island imprint.
We are currently engaged in a number of exciting activities, and will develop its work further over the coming months.
Redeveloping social housing estates is increasingly being seen as vital in promoting social inclusion and reducing poverty in many parts of Ireland’s cities. However, questions may be asked about the processes driving it.
This year, TASC teamed up with the National Women’s Council of Ireland to produce a major new work on the status of women and the feminist movement in Ireland today.
