Mr Aidan O'Driscoll was appointed Secretary General of the Department of Justice and Equality by Government Decision on 10 July 2018, having held the position of Secretary General in the Department of Agriculture, Food and Marine since 2015. This followed a consultation process to identify a serving Secretary General with the necessary experience and expertise to lead the challenging transformation process in the Department as set out in the first report of the Effectiveness and Renewal Group.
Mr. O'Driscoll brings a wealth of experience to his new role and I look forward to working with him in delivering on the important mandate of the Department of Justice and Equality.
