A total of eleven submissions included suggestions and recommendations relating to LGBTI+ strategy, policy and service provision (AI; BeLonG To; GHN; CPPN; Ibec; INTO LGBT+ Group; Gaisce; Doras; Unesco Chair ITT; Plan).

A broad range of sub-themes emerged across the eleven submissions. These included implementation of the National LGBTI+ Inclusion Strategy and National LGBTI+ Youth Strategy, the intersectionality between LGBTI+ communities and policy areas such as direct provision and disability-based services, and provision of services to LGBTI+ populations in rural communities. These sub-themes will now be discussed.
