295. Deputy John Curran asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the status of the social inclusion strategy 2019-25 roadmap for social inclusion, which was due for publication in 2018; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [52009/19]

I have received the draft of the new social inclusion strategy "Roadmap for Social Inclusion 2020-2025", and intend to bring it to cabinet committee and government for review and approval as soon as possible. I expect that the new strategy will be published shortly. I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
