The Migrant Integration Strategy sets as its vision that migrants are facilitated to play a full role in Irish society, that integration is a core principle of Irish life and that Irish society and institutions work together to promote integration. It includes as one of 12 key elements that the basic values of Irish society are respected by all. The definition of integration in the Strategy, which recognises the right of migrants to give expression to their own culture in a manner that does not conflict with the basic values of Irish society, indicates that the basic values are those "reflected in Ireland's Constitution and in law".
