Minister of State at the Department of Justice and Equality

There are no specific Department of Justice and Equality actions in the National Carers Strategy. However, officials from my Department met with representatives of the National Carer Strategy Monitoring Group (NCSMG) on 16 December 2014 to discuss issues of interest to them and agreed to continue this engagement and meet periodically as required.
