The Strategy will guide the Department of Justice, Home Affairs and Migration for the next three years. Delivery will be planned and monitored through annual statements of priorities that will be published and will inform business planning across the organisation and monitored in the Department’s annual report. Key indicators will be developed and published to measure against outcomes.

All public bodies in Ireland have a responsibility to promote equality, prevent discrimination and protect the human rights of their employees, service users and everyone affected by their policies and plans. The Department will publish an updated Public Sector Duty assessment and action plan in 2025, building on the EDI strategy which is being implemented since 2022 with progress monitored by a dedicated sub-committee of the Management Board and reported on annually. All public bodies are required to perform their functions in a manner consistent with national climate ambitions, and the Department will continue to publish an updated Climate Action Roadmap each year.
