My Department has carried out an assessment of the human rights and equality issues it believes to be relevant to its functions and purpose as required under section 42 of the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission Act 2014. My Department has also outlined the policies, plans and actions in place or proposed to be put in place to address those issues in its Public Sector Assessment and Implementation Plan, which was published on 11 March 2021.

With regard to the aegis bodies under my Department's remit, I have asked those bodies to respond directly to the Deputy on the implementation of their obligations under section 42 of the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission Act 2014.
