Deputy Seán Crowe asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if the practical toolkit on business and human rights for public and private entities that was promised in the national plan on business and human rights has been developed; if not, when it will be completed; and if so, if it has already been circulated to relevant public and private entities.

View answerThe development of a practical toolkit on business and human rights for public and private entities is one of the initial priorities for the Business and Human Rights Implementation Group, to be established under the National Plan on Business and Human Rights.
As provided for under the Plan, work is currently underway on a comprehensive baseline assessment of the legislative and regulatory framework pertaining to business and human rights as it applies in Ireland. This work is expected to be completed by October and will guide the work of the Implementation Group in delivering on the Plan’s key commitments, including the toolkit.
