My Department's work on migration includes engagement with other Departments on the development of policy across Government and to that end a Strategic Migration Policy Group was established in December 2024 to support that work. The objective is to develop whole-of-government approaches to migration that are coherent across Departments and responsive in seeking to address Ireland’s current and future demographic, economic and social policy needs. All relevant Departments are represented. The Group has met three times to date - its work will be central to the development of a National Migration and Integration Strategy as set out in the Programme for Government.
