It means households may have become disconnected from their communities.
Social Justice Ireland says " New communities were forged both online and in “real life” as a result of looking anew at issues as diverse as access, housing, mental health, creative arts, fitness and sports, nutrition, education, digital skills and well-being. "
In its latest report, it says "The infrastructure, services, and policies that a country develops, and implements are determined in large part by that country’s demography, that is, the make-up of its population. Every person should have a say in how and where infrastructure is delivered, what services are required and provided and what policies are implemented to shape their communities. "
Head of Social Justice Ireland is Dr. Sean Healy.
He joined Clem Ryan on Tuesday's edition of Kildare Today.
