· The cost of motoring, especially because of its essential nature in isolated areas like those in Inishowen, needs to be prioritised by central government if citizens are to feel any kind of equity exists within the nation.
· Recreational facilities as an alternative to the pub culture are required - support is needed to provide more clubs and societies.  Greater consultation between politicians and those in control of funding allocations is seen as a necessary part of this.
· Paying people to work in community facilities might go some way to solving two problems - the shortage of volunteers and the lack of employment opportunities locally.
· The lack of facilities for the youth of Inishowen requires more youth clubs and a better range of activities to overcome the dependence on pubs and drinking for recreation.
· Relationship education in schools would help young people communicate better and further the prospect of sexual equality for women.
· Affordable land and housing for the next generation in Inishowen needs to be addressed sooner rather than later.

Employment

· More 'real jobs' - long term and available in the locality - are demanded for the Inishowen area - this was top of the list for most women and is seen to be of critical importance.
· New investment in the area must be attracted.  With enough effort from the government, cross-border cooperation could be effectively harnessed with the advent of the new ferry at Greencastle.
· The issue of non-nationals and employment needs to be clarified if racial tension is not to escalate in the future.
· Medical card income limits must be adjusted if women are not to feel financially disadvantaged if they take up employment.
· More medical cards are needed for those on low income if women's health, in particular, is not to suffer.
· Family friendly workplaces must become a reality and adequate money directed to the solving of the childcare crisis if women's barriers to paid work  are to be seriously addressed .
· Education and training opportunities must be directly linked to realistic job prospects. A wider range of courses is required for the women of Inishowen - not everyone wants to be restricted to computers or childcare. 
· A more evident and open accountability is essential if the perception of, and trust in, government agencies is to improve.

Further Education and Training

· Childcare difficulties prevent many women from exploring the opportunity of further education or training - crèches, with fully trained staff must be provided for every course if women are to have a realistic chance of attending.  After school clubs would be of huge benefit to women in full-time education.
· More attention must be paid to the aspect of the timing of classes for women; this includes the time of year as well as the time of day.
· The lack of adequate public transport and the availability of private transport is a serious problem for women wanting to further their education - this must be addressed for all rural women.
· Alternatives to traditional courses or classes, such as online learning, the use of local schools or mobile classrooms, should be explored and funded to assist housebound women, in particular.
· Further research needs to investigate if there are more women who would like to avail of further education and, if not, their choice not to must be respected.
The provision of appropriate educational information is critical if the type of classes or courses made available is to meet the needs of the women who attend them.  Advocacy, career guidance and advice are essential to ensure
