Peadar Tóibín
Question:414 Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Justice and Equality, noting the move in March 2010 of the then Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform’s equality (and human rights) briefs to the Department of Community, Equality and Gaeltacht Affairs, and the stated commitment of the then Minister and junior Minister in that new Department to expanding the human rights functions of that portfolio, the reason this brief is moving back to the Department of Justice and Equality; and his view of this in view of the inherent tension with that Department’s responsibility for criminal justice measures.
