The Public Service, Justice and Policing Reform Unit is part of the Social Policy and Public Service Reform Division of my Department.

The work of the Unit:

- Supports me, in my role as Taoiseach, on policing reform, criminal justice, public service reform, social affairs and other related matters;

- Incorporates the Policing Reform Implementation Programme Office which oversees the implementation of A Policing Service for our Future – the Government’s Plan to implement the Report of the Commission on the Future of Policing in Ireland; and

- Supports the Civil Service Management Board, including the Civil Service Renewal programme; and contributes to the oversight and governance of the new Public Services Reform Plan.

The unit also assists the work of the Cabinet Committee on Social Affairs and Equality and the associated senior officials' group established to oversee implementation of programme for Government commitments in the areas of social policy, equality and public services.

In addition, the section has departmental oversight of the National Economic and Social Council.
