2While this exercise was not a formal public consultation, DCCAE did hold a consultation workshop in relation to the draft Voluntary National Review (VNR) on the SDGs, prior to its finalisation. The VNR was presented by Ireland at the 2018 session of the UN High Level Political Forum. The consultation workshop was conducted by DCCAE and hosted by the Department of the Taoiseach.
3While this exercise was not public consultation, DCCAE provided the public with an opportunity to register their observations on the SDGs, and their importance to Ireland, through an online process on DCCAE’s website. DCCAE transmitted these observations from the public to the 2018 session of the UN High Level Political Forum. A copy of the Compendium of Stakeholders Inputs was available on the DCCAE website following the HLPF.
4This was not a formal Public Consultation but DCCAE asked all those who attended the Stakeholder Forum in June 2018 for feedback on the event. The feedback was analysed and the responses were presented at the next Stakeholder forum in October.
5This is not a formal Public Consultation but DCCAE asked the Stakeholders for their views on the proposed Terms Of Reference for the Stakeholder Forum. This process is currently on going as the closing date for replies is the 30thNovember 2018.
