Written answers

Taoiseach

I propose to take Questions Nos. 77 to 84, inclusive, together.

The Cabinet Committee on Justice, Migration and Social Affairs oversees the implementation of Programme for Government commitments that are in relation to matters under those areas.

It was established in February 2025 following the appointment of the new Government in January. Its first meeting was on 10th April 2025 and met most recently on April 27th 2026. The next meeting will be scheduled in due course.

The Cabinet Committee covers a range of policy areas, including Domestic, Sexual and Gender Based Violence, policing and justice reform, migration and initiatives tackling local area disadvantage.

Amongst other items, it also oversees the development and delivery of the whole of Government response to migration and integration, including through a National Migration and Integration Strategy.

In addition to meetings of the Cabinet Committee, I have regular engagements with Ministers at Cabinet and individually to discuss issues relating to their Departments.
