The Government of Ireland decided on 24 June 2014 that Ireland would develop a national plan for the implementation of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.
The Human Rights Unit of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is leading the development of the plan.
An inter-departmental working group has been formed consisting of focal points from each Government Department. The National Plan on Business and Human Rights will build on the achievements of Ireland’s National Plan on Corporate Social Responsibility which was published by the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation in April 2014.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade NGO Forum on Human Rights which took place on 7 November 2014 marked the start of the consultation process on Ireland’s National Plan.
The Forum provided an opportunity for business, NGOs, trade unions and academics to exchange views on best practices in relation to Business and Human Rights and in particular with a view to informing the process of development and the content of a Plan to implement the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.
The Human Rights Unit has established a dedicated email inbox to which members of the public can send submissions in relation to the National Plan: [email protected]
The Department will engage in a consultation process beginning in January 2015 which will involve Government departments and agencies and in collaboration with the business community and civil society groups.
