then suggestions where invited from those present and everyone mentioned points. The following are minutes of the meeting:
1. We need Press Complaint Officer.
2. Individual community needs should be the issue for voting for each Muslim locality in the constituency.
3. Investing in establishing good and effective relations with politicians. We need to support them so they will support us.
4. On the long run we should aim at the long time process to succeed to find working strategy for certain areas of interest.
5. We should give e.g. votes and support before demand or requesting politicians to do things for us.
6. We suppose to ask for our own rights this implies that we don’t have to involve ourselves in politics.
7. Voting for the right candidate is essential so we encourage people to read the manifesto of the party.
8. Muslims in Ireland have less problems than the rest of the world therefore time personal contact and right candidate must be approached.
