Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

My Department has undertaken to convene a forum on business and human rights within two years of adoption of the plan. In addition, the interdepartmental committee on human rights, chaired by the Minister of State at the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Deputy Cannon, will also monitor implementation of the plan. There is oversight to ensure that this agenda moves forward but in terms of making an impact on global policy, the EU and the incoming Commission need to give leadership. Ireland will certainly support them in doing that.
