Question 218: To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform his views that it would be a highly positive measure, in the context of the reform of the public sector, if the Irish Human Rights Commission's Human Rights Guide for the Civil and Public Service was updated from the 2010 edition, became part of all training areas and was distributed throughout the public service.

The Irish Human Rights Commission's (IHRC) Human Rights Guide for the Civil and Public Service makes an important contribution to the human rights agenda in Ireland. The updating of the 2010 edition is a matter for my colleague, the Minister for Justice and Equality and the IHRC. Organisational training strategies are aligned to civil service Departmental business objectives and are derived from training needs analyses and individual requirements identified through the Performance Management & Development System. In this context my Department will take the opportunity to advise civil service Departmental Training Units of the availability of the Guide.
