The Department of the Taoiseach is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace where all colleagues feel respected, valued and included and to serve the public in line with Civil Service Quality Customer Service guiding principles.

The Department currently has no legislation in drafting nor any legislation in planning. The final text of any legislation as enacted is ultimately a matter for the Oireachtas with the provisions of each Bill required to complete a number of stages involving debate and consideration of proposed amendments.
