The Department of Justice works to advance community and national security, promote justice and equality and safeguard human rights, to achieve our vision of a safe, fair and inclusive Ireland.
Access to Justice is a fundamental right and allows us to have a fair society. The justice and courts systems must adapt to our changing country.
The department’s responsibility includes widening access and removing barriers to the justice system so it meets the needs of the public, society and business.

When it comes to Tackling Crime , our aim is to build a safer Ireland by reducing and preventing crime, continually working to enhance national security and transform and strengthen An Garda Síochána.
We will reform our laws to effectively deal with those who seek to spread hatred, fear and harassment in any form.

People all across the country deserve to feel safe in their communities. So when it comes to Community Safety we will provide that safety by engaging communities, tackling reoffending, and supporting victims.
All victims will be placed at the centre of our criminal justice system, and we will remove the fear many victims have of coming forward to report what happened to them.
Greater input from communities themselves, working with public services, will help to improve community safety and reduce harm.

Ireland benefits economically, socially and culturally from the diversity brought to our country by those who choose to travel here to visit, to study, to work and to live.
The department has begun to transition from paper-based and labour-intensive processes to efficient frontline Immigration services, in line with our Digital First policy.
In addition to making our services more efficient, we will make them easier to understand by simplifying our processes and providing information in plain English. We will also make our websites available in the most common languages of our service users.
We will create pathways for regularising the status of long-term undocumented people and their dependents and develop a better system for international protection applicants, including making it easier for them to work in Ireland.

Our aim is to build a safer Ireland by reducing and preventing crime as well as continually working to enhance National Security .
The Justice Plan will see An Garda Síochána complete its major transformation and develop into a model of policing excellence. The necessary development of powers, resources and effective technology, balanced by a strong and effective system of governance and oversight, will support An Garda Síochána to achieve this ambitious goal.

People all across the country deserve to feel safe in their communities. We will strive to provide that safety by engaging communities, tackling recidivism, and Supporting Victims . The scourge of sexual, domestic and gender based violence is one we are determined to do more to tackle. The objective is to bring perpetrators to justice and to ensure that victims know they will be supported.
We will build a new infrastructure on how sexual, domestic and gender based violence services are organised and supported across departments. This will more effectively serve victims and assist the vital work of organisations working in this area. All victims will be placed at the centre of our criminal justice system, and we will work to remove the fear many victims have of coming forward to report what happened to them.
Supporting a Victim’s Journey, our plan to help victims and vulnerable witnesses in sexual violence cases, will be implemented in full. It will reform the criminal justice system at every point a victim comes into contact with it. A national public awareness campaign on consent will further strengthen work to prevent these crimes.
Greater ownership and input from communities themselves, working with public services, will help to improve community safety and reduce harm. Across the country, new Community Safety Partnerships will make communities safer for residents, families and businesses.
