Mary Lou McDonald on Coolock: Government must engage with community [Video]

We need to get beyond the politics of condemnation and get to a place of real engagement with communities.

And I’m not talking about the small fringe element intent on causing trouble, I’m talking about decent people in communities like Coolock where resources are stretched and stretched again with a shortage of GPs, school places and affordable housing.

Communities deserve to have engagement from Government and a meaningful response to these issues.
