Responses so far from the relevant departments in Ireland, Scotland and Wales, but nada thus far from Westminster.

We had our monthly general meeting on Thursday morning, and it was great to see new faces and new ideas brought to the table. We announced the set up of four working groups within the movement and people are starting to get on with new campaign ideas and collaborative work.
Get involved!
